U.S. V. GOOGLE: AS LANDMARK 'MONOPOLY POWER' TRIAL CLOSES, HERE'S WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The trial for the US Department of Justice's case against Google for using anti-competitive tactics to monopolize online search is now over and closing arguments are underway. Google's parent company Alphabet controls roughly 90% of the US search engine market, but the company claims its success is due to the quality of its product, not because of its business dealings. The ruling for the case could have far-reaching effects on how people use and interact with the internet. If the judge rules against Google, the consequences could be anything from fines to a restructuring of the company.
