Jessica Yellin Instagram – GOOGLE IS ILLEGAL MONOPOLY, FEDERAL COURT SAYS
In a major antitrust ruling, a federal judge found Google acted illegally as a monopoly in online search and text advertising. The judge found Google’s practice of paying billions of dollars to Apple, Samsung, and other companies to make Google Search the default search engine in their web browsers and devices violates federal antitrust law.
The judge has not yet issued guidance for what Google must do to remedy its monopolistic practices, and Google is expected to appeal. This ruling comes amid a string of high-profile antitrust cases the Biden administration has pursued against big tech companies. We will continue updating this story as it develops. | Posted on 06/Aug/2024 01:09:24
