From Apple to Google to Ticketmaster, the DOJ’s antitrust enforcers are taking aim at what they say are illegal tech monopolies.
When the Department of Justice released its more than 70-page lawsuit against Apple, its narrative read more like a docu-drama than a stodgy legal document. It dropped the reader right into a 2010 exchange between an Apple executive and then-CEO Steve Jobs, who were just beginning to recognize how easy it was for customers to switch to their rivals’ products — unless they did something to stop it.
Take the first Google antimonopoly complaint over Search: DOJ filed it in October 2020, and the trial didn’t start until September 2023. And that’s after the entire process of investigating the company, including poring over millions of documents from Google. So after Kanter joined the division in 2021, Powers recalled, “We had to figure out, what do we have in terms of capabilities? … Especially on the civil side, we just hadn’t tried that many cases.
