Landmark remedy trial over Google’s internet search monopoly opens
WASHINGTON (CN) — Google faces a major breakup as the long-awaited second phase of the landmark antitrust trial began Monday, where a federal judge will determine how best to remedy the tech giant’s internet search monopoly.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled in August 2024 that Google operated an illegal monopoly in the search and search advertising markets — becoming the colloquial term for searching on the internet — following a nine-week trial in October 2023, and two full days of closing arguments.
