Google ANTITRUST Case Is CRITICAL Test For Big TECH, Here's Why

Google and the federal government are facing off in a trial that could reshape how the tech giant is structured and the future of antitrust enforcement against tech
platforms.

The trial is kicking off nearly three years after the Department of Justice (DOJ) and a coalition of states' attorneys general filed the complaint. The suit alleges Google has an anticompetitive monopoly over the search
market.

It is the first major antitrust lawsuit against a major tech company since the U.S. sued Microsoft in the late-'90s. The Google case is shaping up to be a critical test for a new generation of dominant tech platforms amid years of mounting bipartisan scrutiny.
