The Fight for Truth: Inside Google's Monopoly Trial.

A judge is deciding if Google has too much control over online advertising. The government says Google controls too much, but Google says it has lots of competition.

The government's case relies on what Google workers wrote in emails and chats. But when these workers are questioned in court, they say their own writings were wrong.

One worker wrote that Google controlling online advertising is like one company owning the stock market. But in court, he said that wasn't really what he meant.

The government believes these workers are being dishonest to protect Google. They also say Google deleted important messages to hide evidence.

The judge agrees that Google shouldn't have deleted messages, but hasn't decided what to do about it. The case will continue with Google presenting its side of the story soon.
