Ohio lawmakers will hold two hearings next month on potential antitrust law violations by Facebook and Google, Republican Senate President Larry Obhof (Republican – Medina) announced at a news conference.
The Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee will hold hearings in Cincinnati and Cleveland to investigate if the companies are engaging in anticompetitive practices harmful to consumers that could lead to reduced innovation, fewer choices, and higher costs.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost joined several other state attorneys general to launch investigations into potential anticompetitive practices. Both investigations will be bipartisan. Eight states and the District of Columbia joined with the Facebook investigation and all but two states signed onto the Google investigation.
