The Antitrust Case Against Google

A recent ruling has classified Google as a monopoly in internet search, with the federal government accusing the company of leveraging its dominance to suppress competition and stifle innovation. This antitrust case marks the most significant challenge to big tech in the last 25 years, initiated by a lawsuit from the Justice Department nearly four years ago. The ruling's long-term implications depend on the outcomes of potential appeals by Google, which claims the decision is overly simplistic and does not consider consumer satisfaction with its services. The case raises critical questions about the extent of power held by technology giants and how their influence shapes the marketplace.
