Google's Internal Policies Under Scrutiny in Antitrust Cases

Reports reveal Google's long-standing practices to limit internal communication visibility during legal challenges.

Google reportedly instructed employees to delete messages and avoid certain language to reduce antitrust scrutiny.
The company has faced criticism for its document retention policies, which allegedly led to the destruction of potential evidence.
Google's practices came to light through documents and testimonies in several antitrust trials over the past year.
Judges in these cases have criticized Google for what they describe as a culture of evidence suppression.
Recent changes to Google's policies now require the preservation of all communications, including chat histories.
