Group may urge antitrust action against Google

Consumer Watchdog, the Santa Monica group that's proving a perpetual thorn in the side of Google Inc., plans to call on the Justice Department to launch an antitrust action against the search giant and seek remedies including a possible break up.

The consumer organization, which won grants from the Rose Foundation of Oakland specifically to investigate Google's privacy practices, plans to make the announcement at a news conference titled "The Antitrust Case Against Google" in Washington today.
