Guys, Google’s antitrust trial begins today!
The case revolvesaround [sic] whether Google illegally used its leading industry position to limit competition in its core search and search advertising businesses. It’s the first such antitrust trial against a technology company in more than two decades; the Justice Department took Microsoft to court on similar charges more than two decades ago.
I love this quote from the Business Insider email thingie:
“People don’t use Google because they have to — they use it because they want to,” Google’s president of global affairs, Kent Walker, told Hugh in a statement.
So explain to us why “Google squashed its competition by paying Apple and others to be the default search provider, all while deterring users from rival services.” It should be LIT, and the ramifications will ripple across a lot of tech, especially as all the AI (fancy autocomplete) technology is rolling out.
