A US court is hearing arguments on penalties against Google following a ruling that it illegally maintained a search engine monopoly. The Justice Department (DOJ) wants Google to divest from its Chrome browser and end exclusive deals with phone makers, arguing these practices stifle competition. Google counters that the DOJ's proposals are harmful and unprecedented, claiming its dominance stems from superior products. The trial, considered one of the biggest antitrust cases in decades, involves testimony from major tech CEOs and could significantly reshape the tech landscape.
