On October 8, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and attorneys general (AGs) from every U.S. state as well as the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico filed a proposed remedy framework in the federal antitrust lawsuit against Internet services giant Google currently ongoing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. While the proposed remedies could change with further discovery, the framework includes several measures that would prohibit Google’s self-preferencing its search engine platform on its products and certain contractual behaviors that undermine competition from rival search engines.
