The decision is a major blow to Alphabet, Google's parent company, and could reshape how technology giants operate.
A US judge has ruled Google acted illegally to crush its competition and maintain a monopoly on online search and related advertising.
This case has at times been described as posing an existential threat to Google and its owner given its dominance of the search and online advertising business. “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” Judge Mehta wrote in his 277-page opinion.“This decision recognises that Google offers the best search engine, but concludes that we shouldn’t be allowed to make it easily available," the statement from the company said.
Monday's ruling comes after a 10-week trial in Washington DC, in which prosecutors accused Google of spending billions of dollars annually to Apple, Samsung, Mozilla and others to be pre-installed as the default search engine across platforms. Google's search engine is a big revenue generator for the company, bringing in billions of dollars thanks in large part to advertising displayed on its results pages.
