Washington, D.C. (02/04/2026) The Don’t Break What Works campaign released the following statement following the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) decision to appeal the remedies ruling in the Google Search case.
“The Department of Justice’s decision to appeal the remedies ruling in the Google Search case doubles down on a set of proposals that risk doing real harm to consumers, innovation, and competition. As the remedies trial made clear, the DOJ’s heavy-handed approach threatens to impose sweeping mandates that raise serious privacy and security concerns, undermine product quality, and distort dynamic digital markets,” said Katey McCutcheon, a spokesperson for the Don’t Break What Works Campaign.
“Antitrust enforcement has long been rooted in consumer welfare, not used to justify expansive interventions that would benefit competitors, rather than competition, at the expense of American consumers and innovation. The court has already recognized the risks posed by the DOJ’s most extreme proposals and rejected them, and we urge it to do so again.”
