Google CEO Sundar Pichai testifies in US antitrust trial

WASHINGTON: Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet Inc and its subsidiary Google, testified Monday in a once-in-a generation antitrust fight with the U.S. government that the company sought to make browser use and internet search easy and secure.

Pichai testified under oath in a trial to determine whether Google acted illegally to maintain its dominance of search and parts of search advertising. If the government wins, the company may be forced to scrap some business practices that have helped it stay on top.
