2026年9月30日,华盛顿美国地区法官阿米特·梅塔(Amit Mehta)驳回了教育科技公司Chegg和《滚石》杂志出版商彭斯克媒体公司(Penske Media Corp)对字母表公司(Alphabet)旗下谷歌提起的反垄断诉讼。
US Judge Dismisses Chegg and Penske Media Antitrust Lawsuits Against Google Over AI Overviews On September 30, 2026, US District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington dismissed antitrust lawsuits filed by edtech firm Chegg and Rolling Stone publisher Penske Media Corp against Alphabet's Google.
原告指控谷歌通过抓取内容用于其AI概览(AI Overviews)且不予补偿,并强迫出版商参与以保持在搜索结果中的索引,从而侵蚀了网站流量和广告收入,违反了反垄断法。
The plaintiffs alleged Google violated antitrust laws by scraping content for its AI Overviews without compensation and coercing publishers into participating to remain indexed in search results, thereby eroding site traffic and ad revenue.
梅塔法官裁定,原告以免费访问的内容换取网络流量的期望并不构成可诉的反垄断协议。
Judge Mehta ruled that the plaintiffs' expectation of web traffic in exchange for freely accessible content does not constitute an actionable antitrust agreement.
他强调,反垄断法不能替代针对技术创新所带来的经济混乱的立法救济。
He emphasized that antitrust statutes cannot substitute for legislative remedies regarding economic disruption caused by technological innovation.
