One judge may determine whether or not Google will be ruled a monopoly and face consequences for its alleged domination of the internet search sector.
Judge Amit Mehta oversees the Department of Justice's antitrust case against Google, which will focus on the government's allegations that Google has unfairly restricted competition by cutting deals to have its search engine set as the default on other companies' mobile devices and browsers. The Obama-appointed judge has served over nine years in the District Court for the District of Columbia.
"A dominant firm like Google does not violate the law, however, merely because it occupies a monopoly market position," Mehta wrote."It must act in a manner that produces anticompetitive effects in the defined markets. That is, a company with monopoly power acts unlawfully only when its conduct stifles competition."
