Google antitrust trial could lead to major changes for Big Tech

From the creator

The Department of Justice looks to back its claims that Google (GOOG, GOOGL) holds a monopoly in the search engine space.Yahoo Finance’s Brad Smith and Julie Hyman speak with Bill Baer, Former Assistant Attorney General of the Antitrust Division, who addresses how the outcome of this case could impact the future of internet platforms.“The implications really are huge,” Baer says, pointing out Google could face significant restrictions or be forced to divest certain business segments if the judge finds evidence of monopolization to be true.Referencing a similar suit aimed at Microsoft (MSFT) over 20 years ago, Baer believes Google could become “much more antitrust-sensitive” as the government prepares “backward-looking” and “forward-looking” arguments.
