A federal judge ordered Google to limit default search and AI app contracts to one year. The ruling follows a 2024 finding that Google illegally monopolized online search markets.
A U.S. judge on Friday finalized his decision for the consequences Google will face for its search monopoly ruling, adding new details to the decided remedies. Last year, Google was found to hold an illegal monopoly in the search market, and in September, a U.S. judge ruled against the most severe consequences that had been proposed.
Waymo said Friday it would issue a recall for its self-driving vehicles after Texas officials said the Alphabet unit's vehicles had illegally passed school buses at least 19 times in recorded incidents since the start of the school year.
