Google Faces Antitrust Ruling

Judge Rules Company Engaged in Illegal Practices

Landmark Decision Strikes at Tech Giant's Dominance

In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has ruled that Google's search business violates US antitrust law. The decision follows a years-long investigation by the US Department of Justice, which has accused the tech giant of illegally abusing its monopoly power to maintain its dominance in the search engine market.

The judge ruled that Google has spent billions of dollars to create an illegal monopoly, using practices such as exclusive agreements with search engine providers and other companies. The ruling is a major setback for Google, which faces the prospect of breaking up its search business or being forced to change its practices.

The decision is also a significant victory for the US government, which has been fighting to curb the power of big tech companies. The ruling is likely to have far-reaching implications for the tech industry, and could lead to similar lawsuits against other companies that are accused of anti-competitive practices.
