Google fights anti-trust ruling on search dominance, asks for stay on remedies

Google has appealed Judge Amit Mehta’s ruling that found it illegally monopolized online search and is asking to pause the court-ordered remedies, including sharing search index data with qualified competitors and allowing rivals to display Google’s results. Mehta rejected a Chrome/Android breakup and instead imposed less aggressive remedies, arguing the mandates could threaten privacy and stifle innovation amid a rapidly evolving AI landscape. The EU is also examining Google's AI-generated search summaries, and Alphabet recently surpassed a $4 trillion market capitalization.
