The Justice Department is pursuing significant measures against Google, including the sale of its Chrome web browser, to address its monopoly in internet searches. This follows a ruling by Judge Amit P. Mehta, who found that Google's practices violated antitrust laws. The ongoing hearings have involved extensive witness testimonies, and the outcome is expected to have major impacts on Google's market position and competition. Closing arguments are set to be presented by both sides, leading to a ruling anticipated by August.
The only way to end Google's dominance in search is by taking significant action, government lawyers said at the hearing.
Judge Amit P. Mehta's ruling could have significant implications for Google, its rivals and the way that people look for information online.
Google has argued that small tweaks to its business practices would be more appropriate instead of drastic measures like selling Chrome.
Mehta ruled that Google had broken antitrust law when it paid companies like Apple, Samsung and Mozilla billions to secure its search engine position.
