He sued Google, and won. Now he gets to decide its future

The Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has led the charge against Google’s trio of monopolies in search, ad tech and app stores.

As lead counsel for 38 US states, he had an influential say in the multi-year investigation that backed the US Department of Justice, and landed the landmark wins in court.

Now, with verdicts in and remedies imminent, AG Weiser has a rare kind of power.

His office will appoint one of three members to the technical committee tasked with dismantling Google’s empire. The other two picks will come from the DOJ and Google.

That gives him the swing vote in how the post-Google internet takes shape.

In this exclusive interview, AG Weiser reveals who should - and shouldn’t - get Chrome, what it might cost, and why Google’s long game of appeals may already be running out of road.
