The US government is engaging in a major antitrust trial against Google, accusing the company of unfairly locking out competition and maintaining its search dominance through exclusionary practices. The government claims that Google has made deals with companies like Apple to ensure that it remains the default search engine, preventing potentially more innovative competitors from gaining traction.
