U.S. Appeals Landmark Antitrust Case Against Google

The U.S. government, joined by a majority of states, is set to appeal a landmark antitrust ruling against Alphabet's Google. This development follows a federal judge's decision that recognized Google's monopoly in the online search sector.

Despite acknowledging the monopoly, the court did not impose the most stringent remedies sought by the plaintiffs. This has led to dissatisfaction and the subsequent decision to challenge the ruling.

A total of 35 states, alongside the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico, have formally expressed their intent to support the appeal, highlighting the widespread concerns regarding market competition.
