DuckDuckGo CEO says it takes ‘Too Many Steps’ to switch from Google

DuckDuckGo, a privacy-centric search engine founded about 15 years ago, has languished with a small market share as consumers face difficulties switching from Google when the behemoth is the default option on computer screens, the upstart's founder said in an antitrust trial.“Switching is way harder than it needs to be,” Chief Executive Officer Gabriel Weinberg said in federal court on Thursday. “There's just too many steps.” Weinberg testified Thursday in the government's antitrust trial against Google's parent, Alphabet Inc. The Department of Justice claims Google pays more than $10 billion a year to tech rivals, smartphone makers and wireless providers to be the preselected option, or default, on PCs and mobile phones. By illegally maintaining this monopoly, the government alleges G...

Google Emails, Memos Hidden From Web as DOJ Caves to Pressure

The US Department of Justice has removed public access to emails, charts and internal presentations from Alphabet Inc.'s Google that had come out as evidence in its landmark antitrust lawsuit against the tech titan.Google had challenged the government's posting of the documents online, and the court was sympathetic to its concerns. The result: a trial much more difficult for the public to follow than the similarly monumental and widely watched antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. in the 1990s. The trial, which is expected to last 10 weeks, is the biggest legal reckoning for a big tech company since then. With all the exhibits and evidence unearthed for discussion, it's also a rare look at the inner workings of one of the most influential businesses of the modern era. As the Justice D...

Google’s AI chatbot goes personal tapping into Gmail

Google on Tuesday said it had integrated Gmail, YouTube and other tools into its Bard chatbot as the tech giants seek to persuade users that generative AI is useful and not dangerous or just a fad.The search engine juggernaut has for years discreetly developed AI powers, but was caught off guard when OpenAI late last year released ChatGPT and teamed up with Microsoft to make its capabilities available to users worldwide. Google then raced out its own Bard chatbot earlier this year, making it available in more than 40 languages and overcoming data privacy concerns from regulators in Europe. The company said its beefed up chatbot would allow users to carry out new tasks such as summarize a confusing string of emails into its main points or tap into Google Maps to find the best way to a h...

Google Accuses EU of Overreach With €2.4 Billion Shopping Service Abuse Fine

The European Union's legal team hit back at Google's fight to strike out a €2.4 billion ($2.6 billion) fine for unfairly favoring its own shopping services — telling judges at the bloc's top court that the case largely boils down to whom they should trust more.The Alphabet Inc. unit is appealing a 2021 ruling by the EU's lower tribunal that backed the European Commission's decision that the firm violated antitrust rules by favoring its own shopping service over those of its rivals. It was forced to change the way it displays shopping search results that might help rivals grab some of the valuable ad space on search pages. But ending an in-the-weeds debate about what legal test should have been correct in this case and the Brussels-based commission's understanding of what competition is...
