... and must share search data with rivals.

What does it mean exactly?

    It means the "Justice Department won against Google today" is a bullshit complicit victory that clears google from ever being attacked on monopolistic grounds again by double jeopardy because the justice department is run by incompetent fools

    So could I claim to be a rival and get data shared to me

    Well, tbh, it would be nice for it to stay compact and sink all together. Browser, ads, search engine, all of it.

    What would you say is the benefit to the consumer of common ownership here?

    Oh, that is a tough question. I think it depends on the consumer - for people like me, who value privacy above other stuff, this is not great news. But there are people in this world that find value in the integrated system Google provide.

    Anyway, my comment was more of a joke than a actual opinion on the matter.

    I didn’t see what data they are being forced to share, just a mention of “search data”

    So now, instead of limiting the collection of my data, a judge has told Google they need to spread it around?
