'At some point in the future, there will be a reckoning' for Google and big tech either in 'Congress or in a court of law,' Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood says.

Google controls a"pipeline" of data and"we're preparing" an antitrust case against them akin to the federal case against Microsoft in the 1990s, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood told CNBC on Monday.

Several state attorneys generals recently spoke about their willingness to go after the likes of Facebook, Google and other tech giants in interviews with The Washington Post. "At some point in the future, there will be a reckoning," he said."It'll either be in Congress or in a court of law." "At some point if we don't have successful legislation, at some point some court is going to rule to the effect that a person's private information is the equivalent of their intellectual property and that companies have to pay people for it," Hood said Monday.
