US EditionGoogle judge mulls softer remedies in US search antitrust case
- U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta is considering whether to impose remedies on Google after its search engine was declared an illegal monopoly.
- The Justice Department filed a four-and-a-half-year-old case arguing for a radical shake-up to restore market competition, while Google cites AI advances reshaping search.
- Proposed measures include preventing Google from paying for its search engine to be pre-installed on devices and mandating the sale of its Chrome browser, while Apple opposes a long-term prohibition due to the significant revenue it receives from such agreements.
- Judge Mehta indicated he is aiming to find a balanced approach that addresses both parties’ concerns, recognizing the rapid development of AI and the importance of avoiding rulings that could be excessively broad or unfair.
- Mehta plans to issue a decision before Labor Day, with Google ready to appeal any remedy order, while the ruling signals a complex balance between innovation and regulatory constraints.
