A federal judge questioned Google's defense in an antitrust trial over their dominant position in online search. The judge raised concerns about Google's claim of facing competition, given their overwhelming market share. The trial featured testimonies from Google, Microsoft, and Apple executives, and newly released documents revealed Google's payment of more than $20 billion to Apple to be the default search engine on Safari. The judge is expected to make a ruling later this year, which could result in a "choice screen" for users or a breakup of Google's business.
