The remedy trial to address the Google search monopoly verdict began on Monday in Washington, DC, with the company arguing that a break proposed by Doj Wolder put the United States at a disadvantage in the global career for technology.
CNBC reports that, as Google faces the consequences of an August ruling that found that the company had an illegal monopoly in its main internet search market, the technological giant is supporting the remedies of proposed proposed ones of the Department of Justice. In a blog post, the Vice President of Regulatory Affairs of Google, Lee-Anne Mulholland, declared that the proposal of the Department of Justice to divide the Chrome browser unit of the company and open their search data to the rivals “The hamstrings how we develop the AI and have a dopmented commissioner in committeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Google’s main argument is that such measures would hinder American innovation at a critical situation, since the United States competes with China for leadership in the next generation of technology. Mulholland specifically appointed Deepseek from China as an emerging competitor of AI, emphasizing the importance of Google’s continuous efforts to make scientific and technological advances.
The three -week remedies trial, to whom, Jonday in Washington, DC, will determine the consequences of the guilt verdict from August. Judge Amit Mehta is expected to do his ruling in August, at which time Google plans to present an appeal. The company plans to argue that the DOJ proposals go far beyond the decision of the Court and, ultimately, would damage consumers, economy and technological leadership of the country.
Google also intends to defend its Chrome browser, stating that it provides freedom and helps people access the web, with its open source code using other companies. The company warns that opening its search data, such as search consultations, clicks and results, to other companies would introduce risks of national cybersecurity and security while increasing the cost of the devices.
The Department of Justice, on the other hand, argues that Google agreements continue to isolate their monopoly in the search. The department plans to bring testimony of Nick Turley, Product Manager of Chatgpt and the Commercial Director of Perplexity Dmitry Shevelenko.
Although Google claims to be the United States champion against China, the company has a long history of cooperation with the communist country. This goes from the opening of AI Labs in the country to the planning of a censored search engine, the infamous Project Dragonfly:
Intercept reports that Internet Titan Google has plans to launch a censored search engine in China that will include black access to certain websites and restrict the search terms related to human rights, democracy, religion and peaceful protest, according to filtered documents.
The Google project, with a name in Dragonfly Code, has been in development since the spring of 2017, and was accelerated in December 2017, after a meeting of the Google CEO, Sundar Pichai and the senior officials of the Chinese government. Google engineers have created personalized applications called “Maotai” and “Longfei”, which has already been demonstrated for Chinese officials and could be launched within the next six to nine months.
Currently, you cannot access the Google search service in China, which means that the company is being lost a fairly large advertising market, something that this new project probably hopes to fix. China uses a digital censorship system known as the “Great Chinese Firewall” that prevents citizens from accessing websites such as Google and Facebook, it seems that the new Google search engine will comply with strict within the laws of the countries.
