Google accused of ‘hobbling rivals’ to gain search monopoly

Google is in court for a high-stakes trial brought by the US government that prosecutors say the outcome will determine the future of the internet.

The tech giant is accused of using illegal tactics to dominate the search market by paying to be the default option on products like Apple phones.

Google denies using unfair practices, arguing that its product is superior than that of rivals and that it actually increases competition in the devices market.

It’s the first monopoly trial against a tech giant in decades and is seen as a key test of whether the US government can curb Big Tech’s power.

If the government wins, it could stop Google being the default search engine, impose fines or demand a total restructuring of the company.
