Judge Grills U.S. and Google on Antitrust Claims

During the closing arguments of a significant U.S. antitrust case against Google, Judge Amit P. Mehta critically examined both the government's claims and Google's defense. The case, reminiscent of the late 1990s Microsoft lawsuit, challenges Google's dominance in online search, alleging it maintains an illegal monopoly. Judge Mehta questioned the impact of Google's dominance on search quality and scrutinized its argument that it faces sufficient competition from other services like Amazon and TikTok.
