According to guests on today's Brainstorm, Google and other big tech platforms are hurting democracy and stifling the economy. And, these experts agree on an important point: the antitrust lawsuit being brought by the U.S. Justice Department against Google is just the opening shot in an escalating battle against companies like Amazon, Facebook and Apple.

Michal Lev-Ram and Brian O'Keefe speak with Gabriel Weinberg, the CEO of search engine DuckDuckGo; Maurice Stucke, law professor at the University of Tennessee and co-author of 'Competition Overdose;' and Fortune Senior Writer, Aaron Pressman.
