The Department of Justice has commanded 801 tech news headlines since 2015, with coverage peaking at 41 articles in Q4 2020 during the Trump administration's final antitrust push against Google. Coverage has declined from 28 articles in Q2 2025 to just 9 in Q1 2026, though recent headlines reveal an unexpected pivot: multiple stories in early February 2026 connect Jeffrey Epstein's DOJ files to Silicon Valley relationships, overshadowing traditional antitrust enforcement stories involving Google, Apple, and Netflix. The DOJ's news presence increasingly reflects not just regulatory action but the intersection of tech power, influence networks, and historical accountability. The agency's media footprint remains tied to Google, Apple, and the FBI, but the narrative has fractured from pure competition enforcement to broader questions about Silicon Valley's past.
DOJ has appeared in 857 articles since 2015-03.
Coverage peaked in 2024Q3 with 36 articles.
