Online Search Decision: Google Plans to Launch an Appeal Regarding Its Results 'As Opportune as Possible' - European Union's Court of Justice determines Commission's Treaty obligations were unmet.
Hey there! Google's got some legal drama brewing, folks. They've declared that they're gonna throw a temper tantrum, er, I mean, appeal the antitrust decision that went against 'em.
Last year, a judge in Washington medieval beatdown'd Google with a guilty verdict, claiming they were slipping Google search engine's dick into the monopoly game without a care in the world. This, of course, meant billions of dollars going to Apple and other companies for being a designated default search engine on their devices.
But hold up, this isn't a high school drama, it's the US Department of Justice we're talking about. They've been more than persistent, urging the court to enforce some savage punishment against Google. That's right, they reckon Google should be forced to sell Chrome, nuke their exclusive deals with phone manufacturers, and bare all by sharing their secret search engine sauce.
You might wonder why Google doesn't just pack up and go home. Well, they've argued that the DOJ is grabbing the power that belongs to the court, and have devised a counter-proposal that's easier on their ego, at least. Google wants to keep Chrome and their magical search engine, but let telephone providers do the honors of installing the play store for 'em.
Keeping up with this legal dance is as exhausting as watching a frustrated cat stuck in a tub, but we'll have to wait until August for the verdict. Now that Google's planned their appeal, it's more of a marathon than a sprint, so strap in, folks, cause it seems things are gonna get real shakey!
