Google v. US: Landmark Monopoly Case Concludes
Federal Judge Rules Against Tech Giant
Landmark Decision Strikes at Google's Search Dominance
In a landmark ruling that has shaken the tech industry, a federal judge has ruled that Google illegally maintained a monopoly in online search.
After a five-month hiatus, the trial between the US Justice Department and Google concluded this week. US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google has abused its power in the search market, violating antitrust laws.
Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim stated, "Today's decision is a victory for the American consumer and internet freedom. Google has abused its dominance and stifled competition, harming users and the tech industry as a whole."
Google's monopoly has allowed it to suppress competition, limit innovation, and control user data, according to the judge's ruling.
Alphabet, Google's parent company, has announced that it plans to appeal the decision, but experts predict a lengthy and uphill battle in the courts.
The judge's ruling strikes a significant blow to Google's dominance and will likely have far-reaching implications for the tech industry and internet users alike.
