Government allegations against Google Search design rest almost entirely on "opinion and speculation," a federal court says. A Department of Justice (DOJ) case accusing Google's search business of violating federal antitrust laws can go forward, per a new ruling from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. But the court rejected many of the government's core claims about Google's allegedly anticompetitive conduct.
The DOJ and state partners claim that Google has violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by maintaining its dominant position in the search engine and search advertising sphere through "exclusionary practices."
