Google Appeals Antitrust Ruling on Data Sharing

Google has appealed a federal judge’s ruling from August 2024 that determined the company holds a monopoly in the search market, urging a pause on remedies requiring it to share search data with competitors. The company argues that the ruling overlooks user choice and competition, citing support from browser makers like Apple and Mozilla. Google also claims that sharing data poses privacy risks and could hinder rival innovation. The antitrust case stemmed from a 2020 DOJ lawsuit regarding Google’s default search engine status and ad control.
