It's Google versus the US in the biggest antitrust trial in decades
- The US government is set to embark on a high-stakes trial against Google, accusing the tech giant of unfairly securing its dominance in the search engine market through exclusive deals with phone-makers and web browsers. If the government wins, it could result in significant changes, such as Google no longer being automatically installed as a search engine.
- Analysts believe the government has a strong case, drawing comparisons to the 1998 suit against Microsoft that found the company maintained a monopoly through anti-competitive tactics. However, it may be challenging for the government to prove harm to consumers. Despite previous defeats in court battles with tech firms, regulators have claimed progress.
- This trial is seen as a landmark case with far-reaching implications for the tech industry. It comes amid mounting antitrust scrutiny on other tech giants like Amazon and Facebook, and Google could face concessions or a loss of focus as a result of this legal battle.
