Judge dismisses Chegg and Penske antitrust lawsuits targeting Google AI search
2026-10-01 · Ars Technica
Chegg and Penske sued Google claiming its AI search stole their traffic and killed their businesses — and the judge basically said 'sucks to be you, that's not antitrust.' The court acknowledged AI search causes real harm to publishers but ruled Google has no obligation to keep sending them customers. So AI can destroy your business, but good luck finding a law that says it can't.
