The U.S. government’s landmark antitrust trial against Google’s search business is nearing its conclusion.
Under the Trump administration, the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission started investigating Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta, the parent company of Instagram and WhatsApp, for monopolistic behavior.
The government has since sued all four companies — Google twice — in what it says is an effort to rein in their power and promote more competition.
Closing arguments wrap up on Friday in Google’s first antitrust suit on allegations that it has a monopoly in internet search.
and 17 states sued Amazon, accusing it of protecting a monopoly by squeezing sellers on its vast marketplace and favoring its own services.
