We haven't really gotten to hear their case in full yet because right now the government is going through its witnesses. And after that, we'll get to hear more of Google's side of the story. But we did get to hear a little bit of this in opening arguments.

clear to the judge that Google intended to illegally monopolize this market and box out competitors from being able to really gain a foothold in this space. So that's a case that's currently in the remedies phase. So they're figuring out What's the government going to ask for in order to solve this harm that the judge found in this case?
