The Google antitrust trial continued on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, with the Justice Department presenting evidence that Google used its dominance in the search engine market to stifle competition.
Here is the News from the Past 24 Hours
The Justice Department called witnesses from Google's rivals, including Microsoft and DuckDuckGo. The witnesses testified that Google's practices made it difficult for them to compete.
Microsoft's witness, CVP of Search and AI Jordi Ribas, testified that Google's dominance in the search engine market has led to higher prices for advertisers and lower quality results for users.
DuckDuckGo's CEO, Gabriel Weinberg, testified that Google's anti-competitive practices have made it difficult for DuckDuckGo to grow its market share.
Google's defense team has argued that the company's dominance in the search engine market is due to the superiority of its product. They have also argued that Google's practices are pro-competitive and benefit consumers.
The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks. It is unclear when the judge will issue a ruling. However, the Justice Department's case appears to be strong, and it is possible that Google could be found guilty of antitrust violations.
The outcome of the Google antitrust trial could have a significant impact on the company and the technology industry as a whole. If Google is found guilty, the judge could order the company to change its practices or even break it up. This could lead to more competition in the search engine market and other areas of the technology industry.
The trial is also being closely watched by other tech giants, such as Amazon and Apple. If Google is found guilty, it could set a precedent for antitrust cases against other tech companies.
