U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta has ruled largely in favor of Alphabet's Google, rejecting federal prosecutors' demands that the company divest its Chrome browser and Android operating system, but requiring it to share search data with rivals to foster more competition. Here's what to know: |
- The order marks one of the major efforts by U.S. antitrust enforcers to rein in Big Tech's dominance. Learn more.
- The ruling spares Google from selling off Chrome or Android — alleviating investor concerns over losing two cornerstones of its business — while compelling it to share data that could bolster rivals in its market-leading advertising business. Read more about it here.
- The ruling was also a relief for Apple and other device and Web browser makers, whom Mehta said can continue to receive advertising revenue-sharing payments from Google for searches on their devices.
- Google has said previously that it plans to file an appeal, which means it could take years before the company is required to act on the ruling. More about that here.
- The DOJ said in an April trial that Google could use AI to extend its search monopoly. Read more.
- Google is scheduled to go to trial in September to determine remedies in a separate case brought by the DOJ where a judge found the company holds illegal monopolies in online advertising technology. Read more.
