Google wins dismissal of US consumer lawsuit over mobile search monopoly

US District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco dismissed the consumers' antitrust lawsuit against Google, citing insufficient factual evidence to demonstrate harm from the Alphabet unit's market dominance. Lin indicated that the plaintiffs could file an amended lawsuit, referencing the DC court’s August 6 ruling, which determined that Google's exclusive contracts with Apple and other companies contributed to its creation of an illegal monopoly over search engines.
