Google coming off three major antitrust losses
🗒 26AUG25 – In 2023, Google lost an antitrust case brought by Epic Games that accused it of anticompetitive practices in app distribution. In 2024, the US Department of Justice successfully showed that Google has illegally maintained a search monopoly. Finally, Google lost the advertising antitrust caseearlier this year, putting its primary revenue driver at risk.
These legal salvos could cost the company billions in fines and force major changes to its business. Google is facing a world in which it might need to open Google Play to other app stores, hand over advertising data to competitors, license its search index, and even sell the Chrome browser. Perhaps the reforms will lead to a changed company, but that won’t undo the damage from the current spate of antitrust actions.
