Sen. Amy Klobuchar calls Google's antitrust defense 'offensive' - Business Insider

"This lawsuit would do nothing to help consumers," Google's senior vice president of global affairs, Kent Walker, wrote. "To the contrary, it would artificially prop up lower-quality search alternatives, raise phone prices, and make it harder for people to get the search services they want to use.""I have not really liked your response to the lawsuit and what's been happening," Klobuchar said.

Klobuchar asked Pichai whether he sees the company's practices as anticompetitive, given its control over the search advertising market and the search engine market more broadly. Pichai said Google sees "robust competition" in multiple categories. "We invest significantly in R&D, we are innovating, we are lowering prices in all the markets we are operating in," Pichai said.

Klobuchar is the ranking member on the Senate judiciary subcommittee on antitrust and competition, and said she hopes to be able to question Pichai further on matters of antitrust in the future. Google is expected to fight the government's suit, which could lead to a years-long court battle. A win by the government could lead to Google restructuring or separating components of its business; a win by Google could set a legal precedent for tech companies facing antitrust scrutiny in the future.
