Catch me up. Today, closing arguments are expected to wrap up in what an expert is calling the “most important antitrust trial of the 21st century.” The Justice Department alleges that Google has [illegally maintained]( a monopoly over the search engine business, stifling competition from other tech companies like Microsoft and DuckDuckGo. During the trial, DOJ lawyers said Google spent $26.3 billion in 2021 to ensure it was the default search engine for smartphones and web browsers, reportedly giving Apple $18 billion alone. Google’s argument is that its search engine is top dog simply because it’s the best. The judge’s ruling, which is expected in the coming months, could be a sign of what’s to come. What do you mean? In recent years, the government has sued some of tech’s biggest names — like [Amazon](, [Meta](, and [Apple]( — over their business practices. But the case against Google is the first high-profile antitrust trial in more than two decades. The fate of the company is now in the judge’s hands and his decision could affect [how people use the internet]( in the future. That could look like Google no longer being the default search engine on certain products. Experts predict it’s unlikely the judge will break up the company or absolve it completely, but instead will land somewhere in the middle and order the tech giant to overhaul some of its business practices. theSkimm For years, Big Tech has seemed untouchable. Now, the government’s case against Google could change how the world’s most popular search engine operates and how users engage with it.
