"As we have long said, the Court's August 2024 ruling ignored the reality that people use Google because they want to, not because they're forced to. The decision failed to account for the rapid pace of innovation and intense competition we face from established players and well-funded start-ups. And it discounted compelling testimony from browser makers like Apple and Mozilla who said they choose to feature Google because it provides the highest quality search experience for their consumers."
"While we appeal this decision, we're asking to pause the implementation of specific remedies that would force us to share search data and provide syndication services to rivals. These mandates would risk Americans' privacy and discourage competitors from building their own products - ultimately stifling the innovation that keeps the U.S. at the forefront of global technology. We look forward to making our case in court later this year."
Google filed a notice of appeal of the DOJ's August 2024 search ruling and asked the court to pause implementation of some remedies during the appeal. Google contends users choose its search voluntarily and that the decision overlooked rapid innovation and intense competition from established rivals and well-funded startups. Google cited browser makers including Apple and Mozilla as saying they feature Google for its quality. Google said mandated sharing of search data and required syndication services would risk Americans' privacy, discourage competitors from building their own products, and ultimately stifle innovation. The company said it will make its case in court later this year.
