The United States of the United States, the long -standing competition case against Google, has aroused a great impact in the world of technology. The case, which was opened in 2020, was launched on the grounds that the company abused the dominant position in the search engine market. The judicial process since then reached a critical threshold with the decision against Google in August 2024. The court ruled that the company protected the market power illegally.
Google certainly does not agree with this decision. The company announced that it will appeal in a statement on the social media platform X. Criticizing the solution proposals offered by the court, Google argued that these suggestions will damage users. With the appeal process, the decision is expected to be re -evaluated.
Google is preparing to appeal in the face of solutions that it thinks will harm users
The company claims that the proposed sanctions will both threaten user privacy and shape competition in an unjust way. According to Google, it is worrying that the state has direct control over user data. In addition, it is stated that strong competitors can get an unfair advantage from this process. The company believes that more restrained changes will be sufficient.
The alternatives offered by Google were not sufficient before the court. The company said that it could relax its agreements with device manufacturers. He also said he would allow other search engines to be more visible. Moreover, the company proposed to establish an independent committee to supervise its activities.
The Ministry of Justice believes that more comprehensive measures should be taken. In this context, Google is asked to license the search technology. It is recommended to terminate the default search engine agreements with producers such as Apple and Samsung. It is even on the agenda that Google has disposed of the Chrome browser and the Chromium project.
The court also evaluated Google’s advantage with Chrome. Judge Amite Mehta stressed that this integration prevents fair competition. Chrome’s use of Google as the default search engine makes a great contribution to the company in terms of both traffic and revenue. This is thought to reduce the chance of other players in the market.
Google opposes these claims. The company states that users have the freedom to choose. He argues that Chrome’s success is due to the quality. But the court did not find this argument convincing.
The repercussions of the decision were reflected in the field of artificial intelligence. Nick Turley, one of the OpenAI managers, made a remarkable comment in his statement in the case. Google said they could aspire to this browser as OpenAI to sell Chrome. This statement reveals the interest of artificial intelligence -oriented companies in the search market.
Beyond losing its position in the search engine market, Google also questions its effect on artificial intelligence developments. The company thinks that the decisions taken will provide an unfair advantage to other companies. In particular, AI -supported chat robots are concerned that they can establish a new order in the search market. In addition to all these, how to shape technological competition continues to be a matter of curiosity.
