In an antitrust suit that began in the Trump years, the DOJ has scored a big win in showing Google to be exercising monopoly control of search results.
It has been illegally exploiting its monopolistic dominance in search results to the detriment of competitors.
The highly anticipated decision issued by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta comes nearly a year after the start of a trial pitting the U.S. Justice Department against Google in the country’s biggest antitrust showdown in a quarter century.
After reviewing reams of evidence that included testimony from top executives at Google, Microsoft and Apple during last year’s 10-week trial, Mehta issued his potentially market-shifting decision three months after the two sides presented their closing arguments in early May.
“After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” Mehta wrote in his 277-page ruling. He said Google’s dominance in the search market is evidence of its monopoly.
Google “enjoys an 89.2% share of the market for general search services, which increases to 94.9% on mobile devices,” the ruling said. — AP
Their willingness to exploit their monopoly to the expense of others should come as no surprise to the rest of us. They’ve been doing it in elections for years.
Google plans to appeal the ruling. If it holds up, it remains to be seen how their monopoly will be broken apart.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
