Educational tech company Chegg has filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging its AI Overviews improperly use Chegg's content, severely impacting traffic and revenue. Chegg argues that in order to be featured in Google’s search results, it is coerced into supplying content to Google, which is then utilized without permission. This practice, Chegg claims, constitutes an abuse of Google’s monopolistic position and violates U.S. antitrust laws. Google, however, maintains that it drives significant traffic to various sites, including Chegg's, countering claims of anti-competitive behavior.
Chegg claims Google’s 'AI Overviews' misuse Chegg's content, harming traffic and revenue while unfairly competing in violation of antitrust laws.
Google’s practices allegedly force companies like Chegg to supply materials for AI Overviews or risk being excluded from search results.
Chegg argues this constitutes unlawful reciprocal dealing under the Sherman Act, citing previous rulings declaring Google a monopolist in search.
Google contends that its AI Overviews send more traffic to a diverse range of sites, countering claims of monopolistic practices.
