Google's search monopoly: a slap on the wrist, or remedies that go too far?
A US court found Google illegally monopolised search and ordered it to share data and end exclusive deals — but refused to force a Chrome sale. The DOJ and 38 states are appealing for tougher remedies; Google says even these go too far.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
The DOJ and 38 states call the behavioural remedies a 'slap on the wrist for a recidivist monopolist' and are appealing to force structural change, like divesting Chrome.
Google argues the ruling and remedies overreach — harming users and innovation by forcing it to share search data and unwind deals — and is appealing the decision.
