"First, Google wants to withhold from the public internal emails from more than 10 and up to 15 years ago. See Sept. 1, 2023 Hrg Tr. at 62-63, 65. DCN is highly skeptical that communications over a decade old could possibly interfere with Googles competitive business today and in the future. These emails would instead inform the public and press about practices that led to the government filing suit.
Second, Google wants to withhold from the public certain provisions of its standard agreements, including definitions contained in such agreements, many of which were signed more than ten years ago. Id. at 56, 65-69. These agreements and definitions are foundational to the publics understanding of how Google established its dominant market position.
Third, Google wants to clear the courtroom during the overwhelming majority of Googles examination of Apple witnesses, which could span several days. Id. at 69-70. There is substantial public interest in Googles deal with Apple and the termination of the agreement. There does not appear to be any good reason to close the trial completely for this testimony other than to shield Google and Apple from potential embarrassment."
