Un juez de EUA halla que Google dirige un monopolio ilegal de búsquedas

By Ninian Carter

August 6, 2024 - Un juez estadounidense falla que Google gasta miles de millones de dólares al año en un monopolio ilegal en búsquedas en línea, llevando a su dominio en la enormemente rentable publicidad en línea.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta has ruled that Google violated antitrust laws, spending billions of dollars to crush its competition and maintain a monopoly on online search and its related advertising earnings.

The judge commented that Google spent $26 billion in 2021 alone to ensure that its search engine was the default on smartphones and browsers.

The landmark decision is a major blow to Alphabet, Google’s parent company, and could change the landscape for online advertising businesses.

Globally, Google controls 91% of online searches on desktop, mobile, tablet and console. It’s nearest rival, bing, controls a paltry 3.4% of the market.

Alphabet says it intends to appeal Mehta’s ruling.
