""Google is asking that remedies that would require it to share search data and syndicate services to rivals be put on hold, arguing that the measures "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." A pause would further delay any action required by Google in a lawsuit first filed by the Department of Justice in October 2020.""
""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," Google's vice president of regulatory affairs Lee-Anne Mulholland said in a blog post. "The decision failed to account for the rapid pace of innovation and intense competition we face from established players and well-funded start-ups.""
Google filed a notice to appeal a federal court ruling that labeled it an illegal online search monopolist and requested a stay of the remedies. The company argued the ruling ignored consumer choice, underestimated rapid innovation and competition from established firms and start-ups, and relied on testimony from browser makers who favor Google for quality. Google warned that ordered remedies to share search data and syndicate services would endanger Americans' privacy, discourage rivals from building independent products, and stifle innovation. The suit originated with the Department of Justice in October 2020. Judge Amit Mehta found exclusionary default contracts created a durable monopoly.
