The Justice Department and Google battle over how to fix a search engine monopoly

Google faces a pivotal legal battle over its claim of global search dominance. In a landmark antitrust case, the Justice Department challenges Google's assertion, with nearly a year passing since Judge Amit Mehta ruled Google an illegal monopoly. Tech companies like Apple and Microsoft testify for Google, while Google's CEO defends against proposed remedies such as divesting Chrome, ending OS exclusives, and halting AI deals. Experts note this case as a significant decade-long issue, potentially setting precedents for broader antitrust enforcement on tech giants. The legal outcome could profoundly impact the tech industry's regulatory landscape.
