This is the Google on trial news update for October 2, 2023.
The Major updates from the past 48 hours on the Google antitrust trial include:
On September 29, 2023, Google announced that it would be making changes to the way it allows developers to distribute apps on its Play Store. The changes are designed to address some of the concerns raised by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in its antitrust lawsuit against Google.
On September 30, 2023, the DOJ filed a motion to amend its antitrust complaint against Google. The amended complaint includes new allegations that Google has abused its dominance in the online advertising market.
On October 1, 2023, Google filed a motion to dismiss the DOJ's amended antitrust complaint. Google argues that the DOJ's allegations are baseless and that the company does not abuse its dominance in the online advertising market.
On October 2, 2023, the DOJ filed a response to Google's motion to dismiss. The DOJ argues that its allegations are well-founded and that Google's dominance in the online advertising market has harmed consumers.
The trial is scheduled to begin on October 10, 2023. It is expected to last several weeks.
The outcome of the trial could have a significant impact on Google and the online advertising industry. If Google is found guilty of antitrust violations, it could be forced to make changes to its business practices and pay billions of dollars in fines.
It is important to note that the trial is still in its early stages, and it is too early to say how it will be decided. However, the major updates from the past 48 hours suggest that the trial is likely to be a closely watched case with far-reaching implications.
