Judge Rules Google's online search monopoly is illegal

"It is unclear yet what penalties Google and Alphabet will face as a result of the decision. The fines or other remedies will be decided in a future hearing.

The government has asked for "structural relief" - which could, in theory at least, mean the break-up of the company.

In his decision, US District Judge Amit Mehta said Google had paid billions to ensure it is the default search engine on smartphones and browsers.

'Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,' Judge Mehta wrote in his 277-page opinion."
