Uhh, so Google lost its antitrust trial and was ruled to be a monopolist, and as a result was:
1. Not required to stop paying for default search placement
2. Not required to show search choice screens
3. Not required to divest Chrome
4. Not required to divest Android
Is this the most toothless ruling imaginable?
