Turning Google Into Public Utility
< < Go Back
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ recent remarks about Google have sparked a major lawsuit.
From Daily Wire:
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has asked the court to legally declare that Google is a “public utility” in a lawsuit filed against the Big Tech giant…
“Justice Thomas recently stated, ‘there is a fair argument that some digital platforms are sufficiently akin to common carriers or places of accommodation to be regulated,’” the complaint points out.
Inspired by Thomas’s comments about Google, the AG of Ohio is calling on the court to make Google a “public utility.”
Dave Yost’s argument is that, according to Thomas, Google dominates online activity. They own 90% of the market share for internet searching, it’s hard to argue they aren’t like an electricity or water provider.
