Landmark Antitrust Ruling Against Google
A federal judge ruled that Google has been operating illegally as a monopoly, violating U.S. antitrust laws. This decision could have significant implications for the way users interact with the internet and how competition is fostered in the online search market. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by 38 states and territories, marking a pivotal moment in tech policy history. The judge's findings highlight that Google's actions, specifically in creating exclusive agreements with partners like Apple and Android manufacturers to secure default search positions, have effectively locked competitors out of the market.
