Earlier today, KHON2 News published this report on Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (HI-D) going after Google. Her presidential campaign has sued the tech giant for $50 million dollars.

 

Fox Business also filed a report today on that same lawsuit by Rep Gabbard. The next round of Democratic debates are just days away, which may explain part of the timing.

 

 

Peter Theil, a prominent Silicon Valley billionaire who promoted President Trump’s campaign in 2016 is taking aim at Google too, see that report linked below.
