On May 22, Google officially filed an appeal with a federal appeals court, seeking a comprehensive review of a previous ruling that found it guilty of illegally monopolizing the search market. Google criticized the initial verdict as 'crossing legal boundaries', insisting that the company won its business in a 'fair competition' environment and stated in legal documents that it 'simply won fairly in the market based on its own strengths'. The case stems from an August 2024 ruling by a U.S. federal judge, which found Google guilty of illegally monopolizing the online search market by entering into agreements with companies like Apple and paying billions of dollars to secure default search engine status, thereby unlawfully suppressing competitors.
