The DOJ appeals Google’s antitrust remedies, arguing they don’t restore competition, as the case heads to the D.C. Circuit.

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a cross-appeal in the Google antitrust case, challenging the 2025 remedies that require the company to share search data with rivals and limit exclusive deals, arguing they fall short of restoring competition. This follows Google’s appeal seeking to overturn the 2024 liability ruling and the 2025 remedies, which did not mandate selling Chrome or banning default search payments. The case, rooted in allegations of monopolistic behavior through exclusive agreements with Apple and Android makers, remains pending before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, with a final decision expected in about a year. The outcome could shape future antitrust enforcement against Big Tech.
