The landmark decision could reshape the digital landscape, challenging Google's dominance and setting a precedent for future antitrust cases.
- Judge Amit Mehta declared Google's contracts with Apple and other companies anti-competitive.
- Google controls 91% of global internet searches, generating significant revenue from search ads.
- The ruling is the first major antitrust victory against Big Tech since Microsoft's case in 2001.
