(CNN) Texas and nine other states sued Google on Wednesday, alleging that the company has stifled competition and enjoys "monopolistic power." The complaint is the latest attack on the search giant and its dominance in online advertising. It alleges that Google abuses its ownership of digital ad marketplaces to unfairly enrich itself at the expense of fair competition. The lawsuit claims that Google's behavior has stifled innovation and harmed publishers, advertisers and consumers. "This goliath of a company is using its power to manipulate the market, destroy competition and harm you, the consumer," Paxton said in a video accompanying the tweet.
