OTHER, GOOGLE RESPONSE TO SUIT
A STATEMENT SAYING THIS,
CALLING IT DEEPLY FLAWED
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW ONE OF 11
STATE ATTORNEYS OF GENERAL
ASHLEY MOODY THANKS VERY MUCH
FOR BEING HERE STATE THE CASE
TELL US WHERE HAVE THE
WRONGDOING IS, IN THIS CASE.
.
>> WELL AS YOU KNOW,
BIPARTISAN GROUP ATTORNEYS
GENERAL HAVE LEN LOOKING AT
THIS SOMETIME, AND ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE
CONCERNS WHEN ONE COMPANY HAS
SO MUCH ECONOMIC POWER AND
CONTROL OVER A MARKET YOU SAID
IT WHEN YOU HAVE 90% OF A
MARKET, WHEN YOU ARE
CONTROLLING WHAT INDIVIDUALS
CAN SEARCH, WHAT ADS THEY SEE,
THAT IS CONCERNING, NOT ONLY
FOR CONSUMERS AND HOW THAT
MIGHT HARM THEM BUT IN TERMS
OF INNOVATION OTHER
COMPETITORS THIS IS A HISTORIC
ACTION, THIS WILL ENSURE GOING
FORWARD, FAIR COMPETITION FOR
YEARS TO COME AFFECTING LIVES
REALLY OF ALL AMERICANS,
BECAUSE WE KNOW TECHNOLOGY
TOUCHES THE LIVES OF ALL
AMERICANS.
MARIA: YEAH, BUT AG GOODY LET
ME ASK YOU NORMALLY WHAT YOU
WANT TO SEE, IN A FREE
DEMOCRACY IN IF CAPITALISM YOU
WANT COMPETITORS COME ON TO
THE SCENE YOU WANT TO SEE
SOMEBODY COME ON, AND SAY
YEAH, I HAVE GOT A BETTER
PRODUCT THAN GOOGLE, THAT IS
HOW IT WORKS OUT RATHER THAN
HAVING BIG GOVERNMENT’S HAND
COME IN SAY YOU’VE GOT TOO
MUCH POWER WE ARE GOING TO
THAT I CAN THAT APPLE POWER
AWAY FROM YOU HOW COME WE
HAVEN’T COMPETITION IN THIS
SPACE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
WHY IS IT GOOGLE HAS 90%
MARKET SHARE.
>> ABSOLUTELY, YOU ARE RIGHT.
YOU ALWAYS WANT TO UNDERTAKE
THESE INVESTIGATIONS AND
ACTIONS GREAT CONCERN YOU
DON’T WANT GOVERNMENT
INTERFERING IN A FAIR
COMPETITIVE MARKETPLACE,
UNLESS, OF COURSE, UNLAWFUL
COMPETITIVE ACTIONS ARE TAKEN
BY A COMPANY WHEN ALLOW IT TO
HAVE SO MUCH INFLUENCE SO MUCH
DEMEANOR NAPS
WHERE EXCLUSIONARY AGREEMENTS
UNDERTAKEN PAY AMBULANCE TO BE
SOLE PROVIDER, COMPANY THAT
HAS TECHNOLOGY ON DEVICES, IF
YOU IN FACT BUILD A MOAT
AROUND YOUR CORE PRODUCT DON’T
ALLOW THESE ARE TO ENTER THAT
MARKETPLACE BECAUSE YOU HAVE
ACHIEVED SUCH DOMINANCE, THAT
IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES
OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE ALREADY
LOOKED AT THIS TIME THAT WE DO
SO IN AMERICA, AND ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF FLORIDA I WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK, IN THANK YOU
BIPARTISAN WAY WITH ATTORNEYS
GENERAL AND DOJ, TO
EFFECTIVELY PURSUE THIS
ACTION.
MARIA: THIS IS A REAL
IMPORTANT POINT THAT YOU ARE
MAKING ASHLEY IF THAT IS THE
CASE, THAT YOU HAVE EVIDENCE
THAT THE DOJ HAS EVIDENCE,
THAT THEY DID CREATE THIS MOAT
AROUND THEM SO NOBODY O ELSE
COULD COME INTO THE MARKET,
STEVE FORBES I TO ASSUME, YOU
AGREE THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE
DONE I MEAN STEVE, YOU KNOW
YOU WANT TO SEE COMPETITION IN
THIS THE MARKETPLACE BUT THERE
IS NONE GOOGLE HAS 90% MARKET
SHARE IN SEARCH.
.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
AND ALSO, THOUGH, I THINK THEY
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW THE
ACTUAL HARM DONE TO CONSUMERS
AND COMPETITORS, TO KIND OF
VAGUE RIGHT NOW I AM SURE THEY
HAVE EVIDENCE THERE TO SHOW
THAT I ILLEGALITIES WERE
COMMITTED ALSO DISTINGUISHING
WHAT EU DID A FEW YEARS AGO
GOOGLE ENDED UP PAYING A FINE
AND THINGS WENT -- SO-CALLED
BACK TO NORMAL, I AM WONDERING
WHAT AG LEARNED ER FROM WHAT
HAPPENED WITH EU IN THIS SUIT
WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO
DIFFERENTLY THAN WHAT EU DID
AT A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
.
>> SO THAT GO AHEAD.
>> THAT IS CORRECT, YOU KNOW A
LOT OF FOLKS AGAIN BOTH SIDES
OF THE AISLE ARE SAYING WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
APPROACH THIS CASE TO ENSURE
THAT WHETHER THAT IS THROUGH
COMPANY BEHAVIOR OR SOME
OVERCAST REFORMATION OR
STRUCTURE WE ALLOW OTHER
COMPANIES IN THIS SPACE, THAT
WE PROMOTE INNOVATION FAIR
COMPETITION, THAT IS THE
UNDERLYING PERFECT OF THIS
SUIT, THAT IS IS WHAT WE WILL
-- AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE
LITIGATION, AND DISCOVERY
UNFOLDS, THAT IS WHAT WE WILL
ULTIMATELY LOOK AT TO
DETERMINE WHAT SORT OF
RESOLUTION WILL ALLOW MORE
COMPANIES INTO THIS SPACE.
MARIA: ALL RIGHT.
SO REALLY IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION, AG MOODY WE WILL
WATCH YOUR WORK THANK YOU SO
