California will join the US government and 11 other states in bringing lawsuits against Google for abusing its market dominance, the state’s top prosecutor said Friday.<\/p>\n

“Google’s market dominance leaves consumers and small businesses with little choice when it comes to internet search engines,” Attorney General<\/a> Xavier Becerra said in a statement. <\/p>\n

“By using exclusionary agreements to dominate the market, Google has stifled competition and rigged the advertising market.”<\/p>\n

The US Justice Department and 11 states in October brought a civil case against Google for pursuing an illegal monopoly in its search functions and in its advertising research services.<\/p>\n

Google, founded in 1998 and headquartered in California, has often been accused of abusing its power to exclude competitors.<\/p>\n

It is the default search engine on many devices, and its Chrome web browser and mobile operating system Android dominate the market.<\/p>\n

The US Justice Department also accuses it of forcing consumers and advertisers to use its services on Android devices on app<\/a>s that cannot be deleted, such as Google Maps.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and prosecutors representing 48 states and territories also announced they had filed a complaint against Facebook<\/a> for abusing its market dominance.\n <\/p>\n\n
