According to TechCrunch, in the lawsuit filed in the District Court of Columbia, Chegg accused Google of unfair competition such as back-to-back exchanges, monopoly maintenance and unfair profits.
Chegg claimed that Google was forcing companies to provide their information to make results appear on Google Search, exercising its monopoly unfairly in searching to benefit from third-party IPs.
Chegg is a famous educational technology company, providing many services and resources to support students' learning. Chegg was established in 2005 with the goal of helping students reduce costs and improve learning efficiency.
In the lawsuit, Chegg also called for damages and other forms of support, and proposed a ban on Google's alleged "illegal and unfair" behavior.
Chegg is just one of the companies opposing Google's efforts to include AI in Google Search. Some news agencies have claimed that their traffic is negatively affected by Google's AI search results summaries, which are taken from web sources to answer Google Search users' queries.
Google has not yet responded officially to the above information.
