The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday brought legal action against Google for its business methods. It said the company used its market power over internet search and advertising to limit competition and harm users. The case marks the government’s most notable antitrust legal action since its case against Microsoft more than 20 years ago. The U.S. started the case against Google while continuing its investigations into other major technology companies. Those companies include Apple, Amazon and Facebook. U.S. Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen led the antitrust case against Google. The government called Goggle the “gatekeeper for the internet.” It said Google kept its power using methods “that are harmful to competition.”
