Google CEO defends practice of paying tech companies to make Google default search engine

Emergency warnings are in place for fires burning near Tenterfield and Tabulam, NSW; Stanthorpe, NSW; and south of Bundaberg, QLD.Google's chief executive has defended his company's practice of paying Apple and other tech companies to make Google the default search engine on their devices, and said the intent was to make the user experience "seamless and easy".

According to court documents the government entered into the record last week, the payments came to more than $US26 billion in 2021, a year in which operating expenses for Google's parent company, Alphabet, were nearly $US68 billion. In a 2019 email shown in court, Mr Pichai asked to be informed directly whenever a member of Google's search engine team defected to Apple.

Much of the testimony in the case has been held behind closed doors, and a significant amount of evidence has been redacted from documents at the request of Google and Apple, whose attorneys say they need to protect trade secrets.The General Court largely confirmed the European Commission's 2018 decision but trimmed Google's fine by 5 per cent to $6.126 billion because it disagreed with the EU competition enforcer on one point.
