Juiz considera que Google gere monopólio de pesquisas ilegal

By Ninian Carter

August 6, 2024 - Um juiz dos EUA decretou que a Google gasta milhares de milhões de dólares por ano a gerir um monopólio ilegal de pesquisas online, que leva ao seu domínio da muito rentável publicidade online

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.
