    Ecco la risposta ufficiale di Google:

    Here’s our statement on today’s decision in the DOJ case:

    “This decision recognizes that Google offers the best search engine, but concludes that we shouldn’t be allowed to make it easily available. We appreciate the Court’s finding that Google is ‘the industry’s highest quality search engine, which has earned Google the trust of hundreds of millions of daily users,’ that Google ‘has long been the best search engine, particularly on mobile devices,’ ‘has continued to innovate in search’ and that ‘Apple and Mozilla occasionally assess Google’s search quality relative to its rivals and find Google’s to be superior.’ Given this, and that people are increasingly looking for information in more and more ways, we plan to appeal. As this process continues, we will remain focused on making products that people find helpful and easy to use.” – Kent Walker, President, Global Affairs

    Che insomma, suona un po' come "siete monopolisti" / "sì siamo i migliori grazie, arrivederci"

    Dal Wall Street Journal:

    Google’s Breakup Is Starting to Get Priced In

    Valuation has fallen as analysts are less optimistic that dual antitrust cases will leave company unscathed

    The federal government is a long way from actually breaking Google up. Investors are starting to treat the possibility as a foregone conclusion.

    The trial for the Justice Department’s second antitrust case against the internet titan started Monday. That comes a month after Google lost the first case, with a federal judge ruling that the company engaged in illegal practices to maintain its dominance in internet search. The current trial challenges Google’s position in the ad-tech industry, where the company’s tools play a major role in the buying and selling of online advertising.

    Fino ad ora era solo una cosa teorica, ora gli analisti iniziano a considerarla come una possibilità concreta.
