Welcome back. Verge senior policy reporter Lauren Feiner is here explaining what's going on with Google's big ad tech antitrust case. The case is still happening. It's about to wrap up its second week of government witnesses, and then Google will be able to present its side of things for a few weeks. It's definitely too early to say how this case might play out.

But looking forward, if Google should end up losing this case, what kind of outcomes do you think we might see?

Meanwhile, we're still waiting on the remedies portion of the search case to play out. There's been some reporting that the DOJ is considering requesting a full breakup of Google, but it doesn't have to officially submit its suggested penalties to the court until the end of the year. So that's going to take a while.

Is there any chance the outcomes in that case could affect the ruling in the ad tech case?

There's a lot going on in the antitrust world right now. The amount of enforcement has just ballooned these last few years. Since the 80s until pretty recently, companies have been allowed to get bigger and more powerful. But regulators around the world, including Lena Kahn at the FTC and Jonathan Cantor at the DOJ, have been aggressively pushing back.

We've had Cantor on the show a couple times this year, most recently right after Google lost the search antitrust case. What's interesting about the Google cases is that they're not just the first ones to get across the finish line. They're some of the first to really even get past the starting line. For more than five years, we've heard federal regulators are looking at Amazon, Meta, and Apple.

And while some suits have been filed, no other cases have been heard in court. Is there a reason that the Google cases have gotten the farthest the fastest?
