There is some reason to believe said employees do try and suppress conservative content.

The idea that a companies politics must coincide with that of their users is a bad one.

Google improves their search results by analyzing user behavior. Users want relevant search results. A search engine cannot provide them without massive amounts of search queries. Locking them in a 90%+ search monopoly.

For competition to even be possible Google must open up it's data.

The ideal outcome of this lawsuit is Google being forced to open up their vast amounts of data obtained by being the 90+% market monopoly. Only then can other search engines even begin to compete.
