According to the WSJ, Google has offered to remove the offending technical barriers for competitors to settle the antitrust lawsuit but even if it manages to settle, the tech giant is still likely to pay a fine for its practices till now. Google is also facing similar lawsuits in Texas and a class-action lawsuit over gender-based wage disparity in California.</p>\n<h4>Outlook</h4>\n<p>Since Covid-19 started its relentless march across the globe, Big Tech quickly went from a defensive mode in times of uncertainty to impressive growth. It is clear that the digital revolution is here to stay, and whether regulators like it or not, these businesses have embedded their products and services deeply in our lives.
