Google Loses Anti-Trust Case on Searches

Google

In what will be a landmark legal decision, a federal judge has ruled that Google has violated antitrust laws by maintaining its monopoly power in the markets for general search services and general search text advertisements. This ruling was issued on August 5th, right on our model by Judge Amit Mehta. This concludes a very lengthy legal battle initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice and a coalition of state attorneys general that began back in October 2020. It was alleged that the tech giant engaged in anti-competitive practices by establishing exclusive agreements with browser developers, mobile device manufacturers, and wireless carriers, according to the ruling. That was the critical centerpiece of this case
Google’s search has also been skewed for political manipulation.
