Judge dismisses Chegg and Penske antitrust lawsuits targeting Google AI search
Ars Technica Ryan Whitwam ● Covered by 2 sources
A US federal judge dismissed antitrust lawsuits by Chegg and Penske Media against Google over AI search products, ruling the conduct is not illegal under antitrust law. The lawsuits were filed in 2025. As a result, Chegg’s claims about AI overviews based on scraped content and Penske’s lost-traffic arguments were rejected, stopping those cases from continuing.
Why it matters
The court acknowledges AI search comes with consequences, but it's not an antitrust issue.
