Illegal monopoly
The judge's ruling that Google search is an illegal monopoly is a big deal. It should have its own paragraph or, ideally, its own section. There is currently a very short subsection, a sentence really, but this should be developed because it is really notable.
See references [https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/09/business/googles-search-business-was-declared-to-be-a-monopoly-now-its-ad-business-is-on-trial here], [https://www.economist.com/business/2024/08/06/a-court-says-google-is-a-monopolist-now-what here] and [https://slate.com/technology/2024/08/google-monopoly-antitrust-decision-defeat-big-tech.html here]. As Slate mentions, this ruling "is nothing short of historic." MexFin (talk) 08:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

'Visibly cringe' sources
For the sentence 'This revelation reportedly caused Google's lead attorney to cringe visibly.[citation needed]', I suggest the following two sources to back the claim:
https://www.businessinsider.com/google-lawyer-cringed-court-confidential-apple-payment-ad-revenue-report-2023-11
https://fortune.com/2023/11/14/google-lawyer-cringes-in-court-antitrust-john-schmidtlein-apple-36-percent-search-advertising/
I cannot edit the page, hence I started this topic. PS Halper (talk) 15:27, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

in the summary, global visits data is for google.com, so taht should be mentioned, or else data should be the sum across all domains, not just .com 46.164.50.89 (talk) 17:31, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
:hm, I guess google.com is the global domain, but then I'm confused why USA leads traffic by so much 46.164.50.89 (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
