Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella To Testify in Google Antitrust Lawsuit

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will testify on Monday in the Justice Department’s landmark monopoly lawsuit against Google.

Nadella, who has led Microsoft since 2014, will likely testify about the company’s Edge web browser and Bing search engine and discuss how both products have struggled against Alphabet’s Google, Reuters reports.

The Justice Department says Google has unfairly manipulated and constrained its marketplace. Google, meanwhile, maintains it has enjoyed the dominance simply because consumers view its products as better than any competitor’s.

The suit is the biggest antitrust case in decades and several other high executives have already appeared, including several from Apple. It will be followed by another closely watched antitrust case against Amazon, and the two represent the most concerted federal effort to curb Big Tech’s expansiveness since the Justice Department’s antitrust battle against Microsoft in the 1990s.
