A US federal court has ruled on the high-profile antitrust case against Google that has been ongoing for several years. The judge determined that the company is not required to sell its key products - the Chrome browser and Android operating system, as some regulators had demanded.
However, Google faces significant restrictions on its operations. The company is obligated to provide competitors with access to search query data, which could substantially change the competitive landscape in the internet search sector.
The court's decision represents a compromise between antitrust regulators' demands to break up Google and the company's own position. Experts note that the obligation to share data may have a more substantial market impact than selling individual products.
Google has announced its intention to appeal the court's decision, considering it excessively restrictive for innovation. The company argues that forced data disclosure could harm user privacy.
Analysts predict that the decision could set a precedent for regulating other major technology companies. The implementation process of the court's ruling may take several years.
More detailed information about Google's activities can be found on the company's official website.
