Google's lawsuit history: The biggest legal cases against the search giant, including antitrust and class-action suits

Business Insider · 6m

In recent years, Google has faced numerous high-profile legal battles, including antitrust cases and class-action lawsuits. The US government has filed two major antitrust cases against the company, one related to its monopoly in the search engine industry and the other concerning its online advertising strategies. Google is currently awaiting the verdict for the first case and is set to go to trial for the second in 2024. The outcomes of these cases could have significant consequences for competition in the industry. Google has also settled class-action lawsuits related to privacy issues and monopoly tactics in the Google Play Store. Additionally, the company has dealt with legal challenges regarding the "right to be forgotten" ruling in the European Court of Justice, which allows individuals to request the removal of their personal information from search engine results.
