Google's CEO Sundar Pichai Faces Antitrust and Fortnite Trials
Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, testified for the second time in two weeks to defend the company against monopoly claims, this time in a trial brought by video game company Epic Games. Pichai faced aggressive questioning from Epic's lawyer, who pressed him for yes-or-no responses. During the testimony, Pichai confirmed that Google gave Apple 36% of the search revenue generated on iPhones, with the total payment exceeding $10 billion last year. The trial focuses on whether Google broke the law by wielding monopolistic power over app developers on Android's Google Play Store. Pichai's court appearances highlight the growing importance for Big Tech leaders to be effective witnesses in antitrust trials and congressional hearings.
