California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced Friday that the state of California has filed to join the US Department of Justice in an antitrust lawsuit against tech giant Google.
The lawsuit was filed in October by the federal government, and was joined by 11 states including Texas, Georgia and Florida. Becerra will be the first Democrat to openly support the Republican-led litigation.
Google has dominated the cell phone industry, and between 90 and 95 percent of all internet searches are conducted using Google’s search platform.
