Google Search Engine Monopoly May Soon be Ending
Google has illegal monopoly over online searches, U.S. judge rules
A federal judge ruled Monday that the tech giant broke the law, in a victory for antitrust authorities

A U.S. federal judge ruled Monday that Google broke the law with monopolistic behaviour. 
Alphabet's Google broke the law with monopolistic behaviour over online search and related advertising, a federal judge ruled on Monday, the first victory for U.S. antitrust authorities who have filed numerous lawsuits challenging Big Tech's market dominance.
The decision is a significant win for the U.S. Justice Department, which had sued the search engine giant over its control of about 90 per cent of the online search market, and 95 per cent on smartphones.
"The court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly," U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta wrote.
Google is on trial today, accused of rigging the search engine market
His ruling against Google paves the way for a second trial to determine potential fixes, such as breaking up the company or requiring it to stop paying smartphone makers billions of dollars annually to set Google as the default search engine on new phones.
Ultimately, Google will have a chance to appeal the court's rulings to the U.S. District Court of Appeal for the D.C. Circuit.
Shares of Google parent Alphabet fell 4.3 per cent on Monday as part of a broad decline in tech shares.
Google paid billions to be default browser
Mehta noted that Google had paid $26.3 billion US in 2021 alone to ensure that its search engine is the default on smartphones and browsers, and to keep its dominant market share.
"The default is extremely valuable real estate," Mehta wrote. "Even if a new entrant were positioned from a quality standpoint to bid for the default when an agreement expires, such a firm could compete only if it were prepared to pay partners upwards of billions of dollars in revenue share and make them whole for any revenue shortfalls resulting from the change."

He added: "Google, of course, recognizes that losing defaults would dramatically impact its bottom line. For instance, Google has projected that losing the Safari default would result in a significant drop in queries and billions of dollars in lost revenues."
The ruling is the first major decision in a series of cases taking on alleged monopolies in Big Tech.
"A forced divestiture of the search business would sever Alphabet from its largest source of revenue. But even losing its capacity to strike exclusive default agreements could be detrimental for Google," said Emarketer senior analyst Evelyn Mitchell-Wolf. She noted a drawn-out legal process will delay any immediate effects for consumers.
U.S. government sues Apple for smartphone antitrust violations
In the past four years, federal antitrust regulators have also sued Meta Platforms, Amazon.com and Apple Inc., claiming the companies have illegally maintained monopolies. Another case against Google over its advertising technology is scheduled to go to trial in September.
When the Google search case was filed in 2020, it was the first time in a generation that the U.S. government accused a major corporation of an illegal monopoly. Microsoft settled with the Justice Department in 2004 over claims that it forced its Internet Explorer web browser on Windows users.

The Past We Know is OLD. There is so much unexplained NEW info.
HISTORY TO BE REWRITTEN?
...
Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body. At the same time, the "giant heads," several meters high, were thought to be an exception. In fact, if these heads had an underlying body, they would have had to be real stone giants, at least 20 meters tall, to meet the proportions.
...
Recent excavations have shown that the "giant heads" on Easter Island are actually buried "stone giants" whose heads emerged from the earth.. How did statues weighing several tons end up almost 20 meters deep? If they did it on purpose, how did they manage to do it without breaking them? Easter Island is little more than a small island. Where did they get the manpower to bury dozens and dozens of "stone giants" in the middle of the Ocean? Unanswered questions.
...
The Egyptians were able to do similar things, but they had the manpower of an empire at their disposal. What labor force did the islanders of tiny Easter Island have at their disposal? The same thing happened in Nan Madol. A mysterious people built a metropolis on a small island in the middle of the Ocean. Of course, it is possible to do that. But provided you have the manpower of an empire. But what manpower was available on a totally isolated island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
...
The same thing happened on the border between Turkey and Syria. An entire megalithic complex was completely buried, no one knows by whom, no one knows why. This site has been called "Gรถbekli Tepe," meaning "the belly hill." But under that hill is one of the deepest mysteries of humankind. Recent studies with georadars have revealed that there are dozens of sites similar to Gรถbekli Tepe "buried" many meters deep. Was it a civilization unknown to us that later disappeared due to a natural cataclysm? Or what?
...
Several scientific articles appearing in the famous scientific journal Nature tell us that over 10,000 years ago a series of comets passed through Earth's atmosphere, shattering into thousands of pieces. The Earth was hit by a veritable bombardment of fragments that struck at least four continents. Nothing was ever the same again. There was a real "Apocalypse" in prehistory, which wiped out an unknown number of "homo sapiens." Do the ruins of Easter Island correspond to those of Gรถbekli Tepe?
...
