Washington, D.C. — The American Economic Liberties Project today released “Big Tech on Trial,” a crucial resource to track 6 key federal and state antitrust cases pending against Big Tech firms, using a series of timelines to map out each step of the litigation.

“Over the last few years, federal and state enforcers have pushed forward with a number of bold legal challenges to rein in Big Tech’s abuses across the economy,” said Shahid Naeem, Policy Analyst at the American Economic Liberties Project. “These new timelines are an easy way to track their efforts’ fast-growing momentum in the fight to break Big Tech’s power over American commerce and democracy.”

“Big Tech on Trial” includes 6 new timelines covering federal cases, such as FTC’s Facebook challenge and DOJ’s lawsuit against Google’s search monopoly, along with state cases like a Texas-led suit against Google’s advertising dominance and California’s recent Amazon “price floor” lawsuit. Each section provides accessible information on the background and legal rationale behind each of the case. Timelines will be updated in line with new developments, and additional cases and sections may be added.

The American Economic Liberties Project works to ensure America’s system of commerce is structured to advance, rather than undermine, economic liberty, fair commerce, and a secure, inclusive democracy. Economic Liberties believes true economic liberty means entrepreneurs and businesses large and small succeed on the merits of their ideas and hard work; commerce empowers consumers, workers, farmers, and engineers instead of subjecting them to discrimination and abuse from financiers and monopolists; foreign trade arrangements support domestic security and democracy; and wealth is broadly distributed to support equitable political power.
