Google can breathe a sigh of relief as judge rules against forcing the sale of Chrome or Android
Judge’s Decision in Antitrust Case
In a recent ruling, District Judge Amit Mehta rejected the U.S. Department of Justice’s push to break up Google following a major antitrust case. Instead, the judge imposed restrictions on Google’s exclusive deals and data sharing practices with competitors.
Google’s Antitrust Cases
This decision comes amidst ongoing antitrust cases against Google, including a separate case related to digital advertising. Despite the ruling, Google plans to appeal the decision, challenging claims of monopoly behavior and market dominance.
Impact on the Tech Industry
While the ruling may benefit Google and other Silicon Valley companies facing similar lawsuits, some AI companies hoping to acquire Chrome may be disappointed by the outcome. The judge’s decision will prevent any forced sale of the popular web browser.
