Nearly a year ago, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google had acted illegally to maintain a monopoly on the search engine market.
It was a decision that sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley and Washington.
Reminder Google is complicit in genocide.

Looks like they didn’t pay enough protection money.
What’s the play here? Why is trump’s DOJ still pursuing anti trust after having all the CEOs at his inauguration? Is he trying to extort concessions out of the tech giants or something?
I think you’ve got keep in mind that the cogs of the justice system turn slowly.
This is the district level damages decision which will finalize a ruling that was made nearly a year ago. After that, it can be appealed which can be heard by the circuit courts, and then finally the Supreme court, which is ostensibly where Trump has the most sway.
If there’s no play here, it’s because it still hasn’t got far enough through the system for him to want to interfere at this point.
Trump could get the case dropped right now though if he wanted to, right? Or is it too far along at the lower level for that to be an option?
Asserting dominance
Maybe Google’s CEO did something to piss him off
and they got thier hands in reddit too as the prmary results when you looking for questions, plus they allow reddit to use googles vcaptcha v3 system, for thier banning methods.
