Google Keeps Safari Deal, Must Share Search Data with Rivals in Landmark Ruling

According to a U.S. federal judge, Google can keep its lucrative default search engine agreement with Apples Safari browser, but in order to maintain

According to a U.S. federal judge, Google can keep its lucrative default search engine agreement with Apples Safari browser, but in order to maintain fair competition, it must disclose important data with competitors. The ruling is the result of a significant antitrust case that aimed to challenge Googles hegemony in search and advertising. Google must now provide smaller search engines with anonymised user behaviour and ad performance analytics, even if the ChromeSafari agreement is still in place. Regulators contend that this will lessen Googles gatekeeping influence and level the playing field. The decision finds a middle ground between maintaining business relationships and encouraging openness. Industry observers view it as a precedentsetting action that has the potential to change Big Techs datasharing standards without upending current business models. Read More..
