Google appeals search monopoly ruling, says it won business ‘fair and square’

Google has appealed the federal search monopoly ruling, challenging both the liability finding and the remedies order.

The company says the court wrongly treated its search distribution deals as anticompetitive and imposed overly broad penalties.

The US government and several states are also appealing, seeking even tougher sanctions against Google.

The case could reshape antitrust remedies for Big Tech and affect future competition rules for search and AI.
