Business review site Yelp (YELP) sued Alphabet's Google (GOOGL) in a San Francisco federal court, claiming the search giant uses its dominance to steer users to its own content.

“G🐻oogle—a mult🎶itrillion-dollar company and confirmed monopolist—abuses its unlawfully maintained dominance in general internet search to steer users to its own inferior content to pad its massive revenues,” Yelp said in the suit.

“Yelp’s claims are not new. Similar claims were thrown out years ago by the FTC, and recently by the judge in the DOJ’s case. On the other aspects of the decision to which Yelp refers, we are appealing. Google will vigorously defend against Yelp’s meritless claims," a Google spokesperson said.
