In a landmark ruling, US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google’s dominance in the search market is due to illegal monopolistic practices. This ruling, informed by The Week, could remodel how we use the Internet and impact the future of great technologies.

Commenting on this decision, Sanjay Padode, President, Vijayabhoomi University, and Founder of JAGSoM, said: “This judgement is of great significance and a warning shot for all of us to take cognizance of the developing monopolies amongst the most popular Internet utilities”. Mr Padode advocates for universal regulations to address these monopolies and proposes a tax on users of digital public services to redistribute wealth and curb monopolistic practices.
