Google Appeals Ruling on Search Monopoly, Seeks to Delay Remedies

Google has filed to appeal a federal judge's ruling that the company held an illegal monopoly in its core market of internet search. The appeal could delay remedies against the Alphabet-owned company. Google argues that the ruling ignored the reality that people use Google because they want to, not because they're forced to, and failed to account for the rapid pace of innovation and intense competition it faces. The company is asking to pause the implementation of the remedies, which include sharing raw search interaction data and limiting deals like the search agreement with Apple.
