In August 2024, a federal district court held that Google possesses monopolistic power over “general search” and “general search text advertising,” which Google illegally maintained through exclusive agreements. The DOJ has suggested a range of possible remedies, including possible divestitures, while Google counters that the suggested remedies are “wildly interventionist” and could harm American consumers. A remedies trial will take place this year.
This FedSoc Forum will discuss the decision, the remedies trial, and its future implications for other large companies, particularly within the tech sphere.
