alt Hacker NewsYes, the monopoly is not relevant for the court.
It is relevant for Google though, because they want to transfer it to another product.
And the court is saying that whatever that new product is, Google is not allowed to mislead the public by pretending it is search.
I'm not sure. Is it really just the misleading part that the court takes issue with, i.e portraying Gemini output as a search result?
In my view, the ruling could mean that Gemini's output is legally seen as first-person speech by Google regardless of where it is published.
