Epic Games' Antitrust Win Against Google Sparks Big Tech Restructuring

TL;DR Summary
Google's recent antitrust loss against Epic Games could have significant implications for Big Tech, potentially leading to a wave of restructuring. The unanimous verdict that Google maintained an illegal monopoly through its Android app store marks the first major antitrust case lost by a powerful Big Tech firm. Antitrust critic Matt Stoller believes that Google will likely start settling and splitting off pieces of its business over the next five years due to the legal uncertainty and the expectation of further losses. The court precedent set by this case could also impact other ongoing antitrust battles faced by Google and other large firms.
