Google is entering a critical phase of an antitrust case led by the Justice Department, alleging that the company has engaged in illegal practices to maintain its monopoly in internet search. This includes paying device manufacturers to set Google as the default search engine. The recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta supports these claims. Starting this week, the court will consider possible remedies, which may include requiring Google to cease payment arrangements and potentially divest key assets. This case has significant implications for the future of web search and competition in the tech industry.
Google is back in court for a landmark antitrust case addressing its monopolistic practices in internet search and its potential breakup.
The Justice Department alleges that Google has stifled competition through financial incentives for default browser settings, which could reshape the tech landscape.
