 The Justice Department and 38 states and territories on Tuesday laid out how Google had systematically wielded its power in online search to cow competitors, as the internet giant fiercely parried back, in the opening of the most consequential trial over tech power in the modern internet era.
 In a packed courtroom at the
(E) Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse in Washington, the Justice Department and states painted a picture of how Google had used its deep pockets and dominant position, paying $10 billion a year to Apple and others to be the default search provider on smartphones. Google viewed those agreements as a “powerful strategic weapon” to cut out rivals and entrench its search engine, the government said.
 “This feedback loop, this wheel, has been turning for more than 12 years,” said Kenneth Dintzer, the Justice Department’s lead courtroom lawyer “And it always turns to Google’s advantage.”
 Google denied that it had illegally used agreements to exclude its search competitors and said it had simply provided a superior product, adding that people can easily switch which search engine they use. The company also said that internet search extends more broadly than its general search engine and pointed to the many ways that people now find information online, such as Amazon for shopping, TikTok for entertainment and Expedia for travel﹒
 “Users today have more search options and more ways to access information online than ever before,” said John E. Schmidtlein, the lawyer who opened for Google.
 The back-and-forth came in the federal government’s first monopoly trial since it tried to break up Microsoft more than two decades ago﹒ This case — U.S. et al. v. Google —is set to have profound implications not only for the internet behemoth but for a generation of other large tech companies that have come to influence how people shop, communicate, entertain themselves and work. 
A government victory could set limits on Google and change its business practices, sending a humbling message to the other tech giants. If Google wins, it could act as a referendum on increasingly aggressive government regulators, raise questions about the efficacy of century-old antitrust laws and further embolden Silicon Valley.

Celeste 小五下 (2024/08/31):

1. "Users today have more search options and more ways to access information online than ever before," said John E. Schmidtlein, the lawyer who opened for Google.這段話的意思是：John E. Schmidtlein（Google 的律師）表示，現今用戶有更多的搜索選擇和更多的方式來在線獲取信息，這暗示著市場競爭激烈，Google 並沒有壟斷搜索市場。


2.Google denied that it had illegally used agreements to exclude its search competitors and said it had simply provided a superior product, adding that people can easily switch which search engine they use.


   這段話的意思是：Google 否認其非法使用協議來排擠搜索競爭對手，並表示它只是提供了更優秀的產品，此外還補充說，人們可以輕鬆切換他們使用的搜索引擎。這表明 Google 認為其行為是合法的，並且消費者有選擇權。


所以文字表明 Google 認為其協議和做法並未阻 止消費者選擇其他搜索引擎,從而暗示消費者有 選擇權。


(C) 通過暗示消費者有選擇權。所以答案是C
