SAN FRANCISCO: US officials are preparing a new antitrust lawsuit against Google over its power in the online advertising market, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. Bloomberg cited an unnamed person familiar with the matter as saying the Justice Department could file the litigation by the end of the year. The Internet titan reiterated its position on Wednesday, saying it competes fairly in an online market where people have many options. House Judiciary Committee members approved six bills that take aim at the business practices of Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook. Any bills would need passage through both the House and Senate and the president’s signature.
