Google plans to appeal the antitrust ruling against its search engine dominance

The tech giant confirmed plans to appeal the decision that a federal court made, accusing it of monopolistic practices with its search engine.

The complex and consequential antitrust trial against Google and its search engine practices recently heard its closing arguments, and the tech giant is already planning to appeal.
