USA Department of Justice vs Google: The antitrust battle continues, and the judge emphasizes that the trial will proceed as planned!

Recently, the progress of the USA Department of Justice's antitrust case against Google has once again become a focus. Despite attempts by officials of the Trump administration to modify the relevant proposal, Amit Mehta, the US district judge responsible for the case, clearly stated that the trial will proceed as scheduled in April next year and will not be postponed.

How much pressure is Google facing?

According to the Department of Justice's proposal, Google may need to sell its Chrome browser, or even split its Android operating system, in order to weaken its monopoly position in the online search field. In addition, this proposal also includes the following strict measures:

1. Share data and search results with competitors.

2. Prohibit Google from acquiring or investing in competitors related to search, artificial intelligence, or advertising technology.

3. Monitor Google's future applications of artificial intelligence technology.

Google, on the other hand, expressed strong dissatisfaction with these proposals, calling them "shocking" demands, and warning that this may harm the USA's competitiveness in the global technology sector.

Divergence between the Trump and Biden administrations.

Looking back at 2020, when the Department of Justice first sued Google, it was during Trump's presidency. At that time, the Trump administration had initiated an antitrust investigation against Google, but was more cautious about breaking up Google. However, after the Biden administration took office, antitrust actions escalated, and the proposals put forward were more radical.

Judge Mehta pointed out during this week's hearing that if Department of Justice officials wish to modify the remedial measures, they must act immediately, as there is no room for delay in the trial.

Artificial intelligence has become a new focus.

With artificial intelligence technology reshaping the search engine market, this trial will involve the profound impact of AI on industry competition. Prosecutors plan to subpoena witnesses from multiple tech giants, including:

OpenAI: Developer of ChatGPT;

Microsoft (MSFT.US): Supporting Bing search engine with AI technology;

Meta (META.US) and Perplexity: Potential competitors in search and AI technology.

Influencing the future direction of the market.

This antitrust war is not only about the fate of Google, but may also change the competitive landscape of the entire technology industry, especially in the search revolution led by artificial intelligence. Will Google be forced to split up? Will there be more competitors in the online search field led by ai? All of this is worth our close attention.
