A remedy hearing has begun in Washington, D.C., to determine penalties for Google following an August court ruling that found the company guilty of monopolistic practices by leveraging its market dominance to suppress competition. The hearing, which could last three weeks, may result in significant actions such as requiring Google to sell its Chrome web browser, potentially reshaping its parent company, Alphabet. This case is seen as pivotal for the future of the search market, with the U.S. Department of Justice advocating for increased competition and consumer choice, while Google faces potential existential threats to its business operations and market strategy.
