A federal judge in the US has ruled that Google is a monopoly. It’s considered a massive ruling against one of the world’s most valuable companies. The World’s Host Marco Werman speaks with Zach Meyers, assistant director at the Center for European reform, about the consequences of this ruling for Google in its global operations and whether or not it aligns the US closer to Europe’s antitrust position.
