Google Faces Antitrust Appeal Over Search Monopoly
In 2024, the Department of Justice and a coalition of U.S. states appealed a federal court ruling that found Google unlawfully maintained a monopoly in online search but rejected dramatic structural remedies. The appeal seeks reconsideration of default-search and data-sharing rules, while Google separately appeals the monopoly finding, keeping potential changes to search, browsers, and AI competition alive.
Scoring Rationale
Strong impact from official DOJ/state appeals and wide industry implications, tempered by ongoing litigation and uncertain remedies.
