A £5 billion class action lawsuit has been filed against Google in the UK, alleging that the tech giant abused its dominant position in the internet search market to overcharge businesses for advertisements. The competition appeal tribunal lawsuit, led by expert Or Brook, claims that Google intentionally shut out rivals by preinstalling its search app and Chrome browser on devices and paying Apple to make Google the default search engine. This alleged behavior has been described as monopolistic, making it challenging for businesses to compete effectively.
