The DOJ had said Google’s restrictive conduct extended to “emerging search access points, such as voice assistants,” butSeveral dozen state attorneys general, which filed a similar lawsuit in December 2020, will also try their case alongside the DOJ.
A number of state attorneys general objected to the settlement, saying it did not go far enough, but were overruled. Kenneth Dintzer, the 30-year DOJ veteran leading the department at trial, also did early investigative work into Microsoft in the mid-1990s. Other current DOJ lawyers were involved in the Microsoft case as well.
