The U.S. Justice Department's antitrust chief suggested Tuesday he'll take a broad view of how competition is harmed when assessing whether big tech firms should be broken up. Delrahim said another factor that must be weighed in the digital economy is services that are, at least ostensibly, free. Delrahim lobbied on behalf of Google in 2007 when it faced anti-trust scrutiny over its acquisition of DoubleClick, a competitor in digital advertising, according to Warren's letter. The Massachusetts senator and presidential hopeful said he lobbied on behalf of Apple in 2006 and 2007 on patent-related issues. Warren says Amazon, Facebook and Google are monopolies and should be split up.
