“By manipulating search results to self-preference its own products, Google is tilting the playing field against consumers and against emerging competitors. It’s time to bring those unfair practices to an end.”

David Yost, AG Ohio

Yost claims Google hurts Ohioans by not offering all the information in order for someone searching to make the best decision.

California-based company has a duty to offer sources or competitors rights equal to its own, claiming it should not prioritize the placement of its own products, services and websites on search results.

OH Well…it’s a start. A Republican actually giving a shit about anti-trust and Big Tek.
