What happened

The DOJ and a coalition of states sued Google for illegally monopolizing general search and search advertising through exclusive default-placement agreements. In August 2024 the court ruled that Google is a monopolist that unlawfully maintained its dominance. In subsequent remedies proceedings the court declined to order divestiture of Chrome but imposed limits on exclusive contracts and data-sharing requirements.
