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?
