The US attorneys general of more than 30 states filed a new antitrust complaint against Google on Thursday, marking the third lawsuit against the online search and advertising giant this fall.
The complaint focuses on Google’s search business and search advertising and also alleges that Google used exclusionary agreements to dominate newer technologies like smart speakers, televisions and cars.
In October, the justice department, joined by 11 states, sued Google and accused the $1tn company of acting unlawfully to maintain its position in search and advertising on the internet.
On Wednesday, a group of Republican attorneys general led by Texas filed a separate lawsuit focused on Google’s dominance of digital advertising.
The states that filed their suit on Thursday are asking for their case be consolidated with the one filed by the justice department, according to a statement from the Colorado attorney general’s office.
