Court Recognizes Google as a Monopoly

A U.S. judge has ruled that Google has violated antitrust laws by spending billions of dollars to create an illegal monopoly and become the primary search engine in the world. This case marks a significant victory for federal authorities in their fight against Big Tech's market dominance.

The ruling paves the way for a second trial to determine potential remedies, which could include the breakup of Google and its parent company, Alphabet, fundamentally altering the online advertising market where Google has held dominance for years.
