search monopoly

A U.S. district judge detailed the remedies for Google’s antitrust verdict, confirming its monopoly in search and advertising. The order limits exclusive default‑search agreements—such as its deal with Apple—to one year and mandates sharing of raw search‑interaction data used in generative‑AI models, while protecting Google’s proprietary algorithms. A technical committee of experts will supervise data access, with strict conflict‑of‑interest rules. The measures aim to level the playing field for rivals without dismantling Google’s core infrastructure; the company plans to appeal the ruling.
