The U.S. government and a majority of U.S. states on Tuesday will appeal the outcome of a landmark antitrust case against Alphabet’s Google, according to court papers.
A federal court judge in Washington in 2024 ruled Google has a monopoly in the online search business, but rejected the toughest remedies.
The Department of Justice and state attorneys general did not provide details in court documents about their appeal. Their challenge will likely focus on the judge’s decision not to make Google sell off its Chrome browser or end its lucrative arrangement with Apple to provide the default search engine on new devices.
