Summary from the TLDR newsletter

It was nearly a year ago when US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google had acted illegally to maintain a monopoly - over the next several weeks, lawyers for Google and the Justice Department will face off again to determine what penalties will be levied against Google. Google maintains that it will appeal the decision once the remedies phase of the trial is complete. The company argues that the Department of Justice's proposed remedies would hurt American customers, the economy, and US tech leadership and innovation.
