3C President: State AGs Lawsuit Against Google “Is Nuts”

CATEGORIES: News, Press Releases – December 17, 2020

WASHINGTON, DC (Dec. 17, 2020) — Connected Commerce Council (3C) President Jake Ward today issued a statement shortly after State Attorneys General filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google.

“Small businesses are hurting, and instead of helping them, these Attorneys General are trying to force middlemen between small businesses and their customers. In every market, middlemen drive up costs, drive down value and drive small businesses further from their customers. Intervening on behalf of billion-dollar publicly-traded intermediaries insults small businesses and harms consumers. To do so now is nuts.

“Small businesses have asked policymakers for help during the pandemic, and have made it clear that they need stability, access to capital, and access to digital tools. No one has asked policymakers to prioritize the interests of intermediaries. Not consumers, not small businesses, and not their employees. It won’t go unnoticed that when small businesses needed help, their attention was elsewhere.”
