Technology giant Google is currently facing one of the biggest lawsuits of recent times. The outcome of the US-based lawsuit may not be good for the giant company. Here are the details

“Google is going for monopolization!”

Google has been charged with “attempting to monopolize” and “abusing its power” in a competition case brought by the US Department of Justice. These allegations, which were strengthened with very sharp statements, pushed the company into an extremely difficult process.

According to the allegations, the company pays billions of dollars in fees to giant companies such as Apple and Samsung in order to maintain its position among search engines. Unfortunately, this process, which was carried out in complete secrecy, seems to have erupted at some point.

During the trial, Google lawyers emphasized that the company’s success depends only on the successful service it provides to users and the recognition it receives as a result of this service, but the US government does not take these statements into account.

As you know, companies such as Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Mozilla, which have large user volumes, use the Google search engine by default in their products. According to the US government’s allegations in the lawsuit, the reason behind this preference lies in the huge payments of 10 billion dollars that the company makes regularly every year.

The lawsuit, which is being pursued with the testimony of many important names, including Apple executives, reveals how serious the situation can be. According to experts, the company is facing the biggest lawsuit in the last 25 years!
