Google Faces Major Antitrust Trial Over Search Engine Dominance
- The Department of Justice and state attorneys general have accused Google of illegally monopolizing the online search market through exclusionary contracts and agreements.
- The trial focuses on deals Google made with Apple, Android phone makers, and web browsers to be the default search engine on those platforms.
- Google argues that it dominates search because its product is superior, not due to anticompetitive behavior.
- The trial outcome could force changes to Google's business practices and deals, open up competition, and shape antitrust regulation of Big Tech.
- This is the biggest antitrust case against a technology company in the U.S. since the Microsoft trial over 20 years ago.
