Google Appeals Court Decision on Search Monopoly

Google is reportedly appealing a court ruling that found it held an online search monopoly. The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the tech giant in 2020, arguing that Google had exploited its dominant position in the online search space. A federal judge sided with the government in 2024, finding that Google had violated the law by paying companies like Apple to have its search engine appear as the primary option on smartphones and in web browsers.
