Judge grills US and Google on antitrust claims

The closing arguments in the landmark antitrust case against Google took place, as Judge Amit P. Mehta examined both sides' arguments. The Department of Justice accused Google of illegally establishing a search monopoly, while Google defended itself by claiming that consumers use other platforms for different purposes. Judge Mehta challenged the government's claim that Google's dominance negatively affected the quality of online search. However, he also questioned Google's argument that it isn't a monopoly because consumers use other platforms for different types of searches. The judge's ruling, expected in the coming weeks or months, will set a precedent for future government challenges to the power of tech giants.
