Google is currently facing multiple legal challenges regarding its business practices. A California federal judge has ruled that consumer antitrust claims against the company can proceed, as the plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged that Google is stifling competition by favoring its own services through advertising practices. Additionally, a separate lawsuit in Texas accuses Google of unlawfully collecting biometric data from millions of residents without consent. A state appeals court has determined that Google has the right to question Texas officials regarding this matter. Furthermore, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has initiated an investigation into Google's market dominance in the search sector.
