Texas attorney-general doesn’t rule out breaking up Google amid antitrust probe GlobeTechnology
“I’m literally open to doing what works. I would look at any remedy as a possible solution,” said Paxton. “I’m not going to say I prefer one remedy over another when I don’t even know fully what the problem is. I want this to benefit the most number of consumers.”Paxton was among several attorneys-general at the Justice Department on Tuesday to meet officials at the agency to co-ordinate federal and state efforts.
“Most people are just not aware of Google’s dominance. Everyone thinks that the internet’s free,” he added. “The pricing reflects the fact that there’s only one player.” Paxton said he would like the probe to end quickly. Asked how Google could make that happen, he said, “Co-operate? Tell their story? Tell a story that makes sense?”
