Google will not submit a motion to dismiss antitrust lawsuits and will defend itself in the U.S. Federal Court

The core argument given by the U.S. Department of Justice in its antitrust lawsuit against Google is that Google uses its dominant market position and financial advantages to attack competitors.

For example, in the Android system, if a device manufacturer wants to obtain a Google mobile service authorization, it must pre-install the Google Apps, including Google Search, in the Android system.

The Android system currently has a global market share of more than 70%, and Google uses the advantages of the Android system to replace Google’s competitors’ search services.

At the same time, Google was also found to have signed agreements with Apple and other companies. Google paid a huge fee to Apple to make Google Search the default search engine for Apple devices.

These agreements also contain illegal exclusivity agreements. The U.S. Department of Justice claims that the list of related agreements signed by Google also prevents competitors from fully competing with Google.

Google used market dominance and financial advantages to become the gatekeeper of the Internet, and then Google collected user data and sold advertisements through the gatekeeper role.

Although Google can submit a motion to dismiss the antitrust lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice, Google has officially stated that it will not choose the path of motion.

Google seems to think that this type of antitrust lawsuit is inevitable, and even if it chooses to evade, it may be subject to antitrust lawsuits again at some point.

This is also true of Google’s lawyers who have submitted documents to the U.S. Federal Court in which Google stated that it would not use the method of submitting motions to dismiss the lawsuit.

On the contrary, the company will issue detailed responses to the issues raised in such antitrust lawsuits, which is a detailed response to the US Department of Justice, which represents the US government.

Google said that it will communicate in detail with the US government in the court and elaborate on the issues that the US government is concerned about, hoping to resolve the issue in an acceptable way.
