Antitrust Case Lets Google Keep Chrome but Requires Data Sharing With Competitors

ABOUT THE EPISODE Wharton Professor Herb Hovenkamp unpacks the recent antitrust ruling against Google, which stopped short of a breakup but forces the company to share its massive search index with rivals. He explains why injunctions are more common than breakups in monopoly cases, how low switching costs could shift user behavior if competitors improve, and why AI could be the wild card that finally brings real differentiation to search.
