A Google vs. Amazon Antitrust Lesson
The Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit to block AT&T’s merger with Time Warner seemed dubious from the start and it now looks worse amid Google’s tit-for-tat with Amazon for blocking Google devices from Amazon’s online store.
Last week Google alerted YouTube users that the app will go dark on Amazon Fire TV and Echo Show on January 1. Google is pulling YouTube in retaliation for Amazon’s refusal to sell its streaming device Chromecast and other Google Home products such as its Nest smart thermostat.
