Judge Amit Mehta will make a decision in the morning on future online access to exhibits. Google's CEO Sundar Pichai testifies in defense of the company's business practices. Pichai argued that Google's search engine is a force for good in the world, and that the company's dominance of the market is due to its superior products and services. The Justice Department presents evidence that Google has used its dominance in the search market to stifle competition. This evidence includes internal documents showing that Google executives were aware of the company's anticompetitive practices and discussed ways to avoid scrutiny from regulators. Google's defense team argues that the Justice Department's case is flawed. They argue that the government has not defined the relevant market correctly, and that Google's dominance of the search market does not harm consumers. The trial is expected to last several more weeks. If the government is successful, Google could be forced to break up its business or change its business practices.
