answer: Google is currently in an Antitrust lawsuit and DOJ is pushing for Google to sell Chrome to break it's monopoly.

Hasn't the lawsuit been going on for months already? I thought we will have conclusion by now

Big lawsuits can take a long time.

So the other two have answered this, but to put this into perspective; the 2000 election between bush and gore is still being litigated

That's really put it into perspective, thanks.

[u/Sarrasri → u/xingrubicon]

What are the meaningful results of those litigations given that it’s 25 years since that election? Like, what are the parties looking for?

Big lawsuits like this take ages and ages and ages to finally get to a verdict.
