Some in the tech community have known Google to be a monopoly long before this decision, and unfortunately, this isn't the only monopolistic thing Google is doing. This antitrust lawsuit is a breakthrough moment. At the moment, Google plans to try and repeal it. This project will continue to function nonetheless. + +[1](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/05/technology/google-antitrust-ruling.html) [2](https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-judge-rules-google-broke-antitrust-law-search-case-2024-08-05/) [3](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/08/05/doj-google-monopoly-trial-judgment/) [4](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/05/google-antitrust-lawsuit-00172678) [5](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/08/google-loses-dojs-big-monopoly-trial-over-search-business/) [6](https://www.npr.org/2024/08/05/nx-s1-5064624/google-justice-department-antitrust-search) [7](https://www.businessinsider.com/google-violated-antitrust-law-to-keep-search-monopoly-judge-rules-2024-8?op=1) [8](https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/google-illegal-search-monopoly-judge-ruling-doj-1236096055/) [9](https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2024/8/6/google-has-illegal-monopoly-over-internet-search-us-judge-rules) [10](https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-08-05/google-federal-anti-trust-loses-search-case) + +Old document from 2023, Wednesday, April 26th I have of breaking up Google into smaller companies.
