On August 5, 2024, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser released a statement in response to the court ruling that found Google guilty of abusing its monopoly power in the search engine market.
"I am pleased that Judge Mehta concluded that Google has abused its monopoly power and harmed consumers in the internet search marketplace. This case involved a remarkable level of collaboration between the states and the Justice Department, which will continue as the judge considers how to address these harms. We are committed to protecting competition that will benefit consumers and drive continued innovation in the internet," said Weiser.
Attorney General Weiser led a bipartisan coalition of 38 attorneys general in filing the lawsuit aimed at ending Google's illegal monopoly in the search market.
