Google $GOOGL (-1,34 %) is once again under pressure due to its dominant position in the search engine business, according to a report by Fortune. At a court hearing, the tech company was accused of operating an illegal monopoly. The US government argues that Google has deliberately suppressed competition through exclusive contracts with smartphone manufacturers and browser providers. The case is considered to be one of the most significant antitrust lawsuits against a tech company in decades. A possible conviction could have far-reaching consequences for Google's business model - from restrictions on advertising revenue to the restructuring of partnerships.
