Kamala Harris needs to take on Google and other monopolies Katrina vanden Heuvel
What has long been asserted by big tech skeptics is now the official position of the US district court for DC. Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google broke antitrust law by spending tens of billions annually to secure default search engine status across major web browsers, including Safari and Firefox. This coordinated campaign resulted in Google securing 90% of the global search market, despite its engine increasingly answering queries with spam pages, AI gibberish and product placements. The court has yet to determine Google's penalties. But this opinion marks a turning point in the ongoing fight to regulate Silicon Valley.
