Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/05\/technology\/google-antitrust-ruling.html\" title=\"\">ruled last year<\/a> that Google had broken the law to maintain a search monopoly. This month, he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/21\/technology\/google-search-antitrust-hearing-breakup.html\" title=\"\">convened a hearing<\/a> to decide on the measures, known as remedies, that would be put in place to address the illegal behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As the company\u2019s second witness, Mr. Pichai was called to make the case that the court should <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/20\/technology\/google-antitrust-case-chrome.html\" title=\"\">avoid the government\u2019s aggressive solutions<\/a>, including forcing Google to sell its popular Chrome web browser and share data with rivals. Mr. Pichai said that the government\u2019s proposal would lead the company to make fewer investments in new technology if it needs to share the benefits with its competitors for a minimal fee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe combination of all the remedies, I think, makes it unviable to invest in the R&amp;D the way we have for the past three decades, to continue to innovate and build Google search,\u201d he said, referring to research and development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Pichai is the highest profile witness expected to testify at the landmark three-week hearing, which could rebalance the power dynamic in Silicon Valley. The tech industry is locked in a race to develop internet products powered by artificial intelligence, and new restrictions on Google\u2019s business could supercharge its rivals\u2019 efforts and hamper its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Google search case is also the first major test of American government efforts to restrain tech giants\u2019 enormous power over commerce, communications and information online. A federal judge in Virginia <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/17\/technology\/google-ad-tech-antitrust-ruling.html\" title=\"\">ruled this month that Google<\/a> was also a monopolist in some online advertising technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Federal Trade Commission is currently squaring off with Meta in a trial over whether its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp illegally snuffed out nascent competitors. Additional federal antitrust lawsuits against Apple and Amazon are expected to go to trial in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Justice Department filed its Google search lawsuit in 2020, during President Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Government lawyers argued during a 2023 trial that Google had locked out other search engines by paying companies like Apple, Samsung and Mozilla to be the search engine that comes up automatically in web browsers and on smartphones. The company paid $26.3 billion as part of those deals in 2021, according to testimony at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Judge Mehta ruled against the company in August. Last week, he opened the three-week hearing to determine remedies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Justice Department\u2019s proposal is wide-ranging. The government argues that Google needs to sell Chrome because it automatically sends user queries to the company\u2019s search engine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Mr. Pichai\u2019s testimony, which lasted roughly 90 minutes, he said the company had invested heavily in Chrome and was best situated to ensure the app was protected from cyberattacks. Mr. Pichai, who helped to develop Chrome, bristled when a government lawyer questioned whether he could predict how a future owner of the browser would handle cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cGiven my deep knowledge of the space and a general understanding of what other companies\u2019 capabilities and commitments are around web security, I do think I\u2019m able to speak on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The government also wants Google to share its search results with rivals. Under the proposal, other search engines would be able to gain access to data about what Google users were searching for and what websites they clicked on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Pichai called the forced data sharing required by the proposal \u201cde facto divestiture\u201d of the company\u2019s intellectual property that would \u201callow anyone to completely reverse engineer, end to end, every aspect of our technology stack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Google\u2019s proposal is more narrow. It said that it should be allowed to continue to pay other companies for its search engine to get prime placement. But it also said that some of those deals should be up for renegotiation every year, and that smartphone manufacturers should have more freedom when deciding what Google apps to install on their devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Judge Mehta asked Mr. Pichai how other search engines could compete with Google if the company was still able to pay for its own search product to get prime placement. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI can hardly think of exceptions to \u2018the best product wins out,\u2019\u201d Mr. Pichai later added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
