Attorney General Bill Barr announced last month that his department would take a hard look at the Big Tech companies for antitrust violations. Both Republicans and Democrats applauded this move and hope the Department of Justice’s investigations will stifle Silicon Valley’s many monopolies.

Barr’s announcement signals that he and his department are serious about this matter. The DOJ is expected to file an antitrust lawsuit against Google this year. It could be the first of many actions it takes against these corporate behemoths. Action from the DOJ against Google would provide greater legal standing for the investigation that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is leading on behalf of 48 states into the tech giant.
