Sundar Pichai takes the stand during proceedings to determine how the search giant should be punished after monopoly ruling.

Google’s CEO is fighting back against the remedies suggested by the US Department of Justice to combat the firm’s antitrust behavior. Google was found guilty by the court for behaving as a monopoly, so a series of remedies were proposed to help combat the issues in the world of search.

Sundar Pichai testified in the remedies trial that will determine which penalties Google will face for monopolizing the search engine market, calling the DOJ's proposals a "de facto divestiture" of the company's tech.
