Google’s online search monopoly ruled illegal by US judge | BBC News


Google acted illegally to crush its competition and maintain a monopoly on online search and related advertising, a US judge has ruled.

The landmark decision on Monday is a major blow to Alphabet, Google’s parent company, and could reshape how technology giants do business.

It is one of several lawsuits that have been filed against the big tech companies as US antitrust authorities attempt to strengthen competition in the industry.
