A three-week antitrust hearing regarding Google's business practices began in a Washington courtroom, which may significantly alter tech company operations and online search methods. Government lawyers assert that Google should separate from its Chrome browser to foster competition. They argue that Google's monopolistic behavior has unfairly stifled rivals. Meanwhile, Google's attorneys defend the company's market dominance as legitimate and stemming from fair competition. Judge Amit P. Mehta is presiding over the case, and industry executives are expected to testify amidst this critical legal battle.
This is the time for the court to tell Google and all other monopolists who are out there listening, and they are listening, that there are consequences when you break the antitrust laws.
Google won its place in the market fair and square, said company attorney John Schmidtlein, countering the government's claims.
