DOJ Lawsuit result is Google Antitrust Trial
A significant portion of Nadella’s testimony revolved around the concept of default search contracts. According to Nadella, Google has effectively locked down its position in the search market by leveraging its control over mobile providers and securing default search placements in web browsers. Nadella expressed skepticism regarding the idea of users having real choices when it comes to selecting a search engine, stating that the perception of choice is “bogus.”
Nadella’s testimony in support of the DOJ’s case required him to navigate a delicate balance. While he sought to bolster the DOJ’s argument that Google employs unfair tactics, he also had to address some of his earlier statements that touted Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing as a formidable competitor to Google.
