Judge Amit Mehta of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia found Google (GOOGL) violated antitrust laws by stifling rivals in internet searches to protect its monopoly, Steve Lohr of The New York Times reports. This loss could have major ripple effects, with the ruling likely to weigh on cases against other companies accused of violating antitrust laws, such as Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), and Apple (AAPL). Further, this ruling will likely impact a second lawsuit against Google over its ad technology, which is set to go on trial next month.
