This is one possible solution to the tech giant problems...


Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who has filed an anti-competition lawsuit against Google, said on Newsmax Wednesday that he doesn't want to put the tech giant out of business but he does want it to be declared as a public utility and brought under state regulations.

Yost said he is hesitant about making predictions about the outcome of the lawsuit or how it will affect the technology business, but he does want Google to comply with "certain legal duties."

"Once we get this, the court to declare them as a public utility, then they will have a duty to provide equal access to act in the public interest," said Yost, a Republican. "They say that their slogan is to do the right thing. Well, Ohio law tells you when you're a public utility what the right thing is to do, and so we're hoping that this is not going to bring the heavy hand of government down, but to recognize that they've got gotten so big that they've got a legal duty to all the rest of us that they have to live up to."
