Google's Power And The Biggest Tech Monopoly Trial In 25 Years
It's hard to deny Google's power when it comes to the internet. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "google" is even a verb.
The U.S. Department of Justice wants to do something about that. It's taking on Google in the biggest tech monopoly trial in 25 years.
The DOJ is accusing the company of abusing its power to become the dominant search engine. Google controls around 90 percent of the U.S. search engine market and is worth 1.7 trillion dollars.
We discuss the trial, how the U.S. is regulating tech, and what implications this case has for tech business around the world.
