Google Appeals US Search Monopoly Ruling, Seeks Delay on Data-Sharing Order

Google has appealed a 2024 US federal court ruling that found it illegally monopolized the online search market, challenging the decision and seeking to pause remedies requiring it to share data with rivals. The company argues the court underestimated competition and that sharing data risks exposing trade secrets. While Google contests the data-sharing order, it has not sought to delay other requirements like limiting app preload contracts. The appeal process may take years as Google continues integrating AI into search.
