Google took a massive hit Monday after a federal judge ruled the company violated U.S. antitrust law through its search business, according to a court filing.

U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta
submitted the ruling, rebuking one of Google’s oldest businesses that the company has spent billions on through exclusive contracts in order to obtain a dominant position within the tech industry, according to CNN. Mehta stated Google not only acted as a “monopolist,” but abused a “monopoly” through their search business to be the automatic search engine for browsers such as Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox.

“After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” US District Judge Amit Mehta Mehta wrote. “It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.”

Last January, the Department of Justice (DOJ), along with a handful of other state attorneys general, sued the
tech company for “monopolizing multiple digital advertising technology products” which they claimed violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, according to a press release.
