Judge Bans Google’s ‘Default Domination’ but Breakup’s Canceled
In a plot twist juicier than a soap opera, a federal judge ruled 'No' to breaking up tech Goliath Google but threw a wrench in its plans by banning exclusive deals that slap Google Search as the default on phones and devices. It’s like telling a billionaire he can keep his yacht but can’t make it the only ship in the sea. No name-dropping for the judge, no dates or drama except a crisp injunction that stops Google from strangling competition by monopoly-marriage conventions. Basically, Google’s privileged seat at device dinners just got revoked—who knew antitrust law had such party pooper energy?

Google’s monopoly just got a curfew: can’t break up yet, but sorry, no more exclusives to hog all the devices. It’s like letting a kid keep the candy but banning them from eating it alone in the dark.
The judge said ‘don’t break up Google’ but ‘also stop cheating.’ It’s like getting friend-zoned by the law—still paying for dinner but no exclusive Netflix password sharing.
Google can still keep its search engine empire, but no more monopoly Tinder dates with your favorite devices. Forced to play the field now, big tech-style.
