Tech Giants Push for 'Unprecedented' Secrecy in Google Trial, Limiting Disclosures

The antitrust trial against Google has become one of the most secretive in recent decades, with Google and other companies involved, such as Apple and Microsoft, pushing for limited transparency. Over half of the trial's testimony has been given behind closed doors, and efforts to seal information and limit disclosure have raised concerns among legal and antitrust experts. The lack of transparency has angered critics and trade groups, who have filed motions to make testimony and trial exhibits public. The secrecy surrounding the trial has been described as unprecedented, with the public and the press having limited access to the proceedings.
