Washington, May 30, 2025 — Google and the U.S. Justice Department are locked in a high-stakes legal battle over allegations that the tech giant abused its dominance in the online search market. The Justice Department claims that Google used anti-competitive practices to maintain its monopoly, harming consumers and stifling competition. The case has become a centerpiece in the government’s broader effort to regulate Big Tech and ensure a fair digital marketplace.
Google, on the other hand, argues that its search engine’s popularity is due to innovation and consumer choice rather than unfair tactics. The company insists that it faces significant competition from other platforms and that the lawsuit misunderstands how the digital market works. The outcome of this landmark case is expected to have far-reaching implications for antitrust enforcement and the future of the technology industry in the United States.
