TX AG Ken Paxton: Key to Stopping Google’s Censorship Is Breaking Its Advertising Monopoly

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told Breitbart News on Monday that Google’s dominance of internet advertising is the financial heart of the company’s other de facto monopolies. Antitrust legal action against this dimension, he added, is crucial to addressing the technology company’s left-wing political censorship and manipulation of information online.

In October, Ken Paxton announced that Texas was suing Google “for engaging in anticompetitive and exclusionary practices that eliminate competition for internet searches and search advertising.” The lawsuit was joined by the Justice Department and the States of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, and South Carolina.

“I wish that our Congress would engage as well,” said Paxton of antitrust legal efforts against Google in an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. “I don’t think that’s going to happen. Too many of them likely benefit from campaign contributions and support [from Google].  There’s all kinds of Google money flowing freely through Congress.”
