美国联邦法官Amit Mehta驳回了教育平台Chegg和出版公司Penske Media分别向谷歌提起的反垄断诉讼1。两家公司控诉谷歌通过AI概览等产品非法抓取其内容并导致网站流量下降，但法官认定该公司的做法并未违反反垄断法1。
Chegg声称谷歌非法抓取了其教育内容，使得谷歌的Gemini模型能够复制该内容并减少网站访问量1。Penske Media则主张网站内容在被索引用于有机搜索的同时，也被用于生成AI答案，且网站无法选择退出这一做法1。对此，法官表示："原告声称的只是他们有'期望'谷歌在他们免费提供内容时向他们发送搜索流量。但期望不是协议，这就是通用搜索引擎的工作方式。"1法官认为网站对搜索流量的期望不构成具有法律约束力的协议1。
这两起诉讼于2025年提起，谷歌在今年早些时候请求予以驳回1。
A federal judge has dismissed antitrust lawsuits filed by education platform Chegg and publisher Penske Media against Google, rejecting their claims that the tech giant illegally scraped their content for use in AI-powered search features.1 Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google's conduct does not violate antitrust law, determining that websites' expectations of receiving search traffic do not constitute a legal agreement.1
Chegg alleged that Google unlawfully extracted its educational content to train the Gemini model, enabling the AI to reproduce that material and thereby reducing traffic to the company's site.1 Penske Media contended that its content was being indexed for organic search results while simultaneously being repurposed for AI-generated answers, with no option to opt out.1
In his ruling, Judge Mehta stated: "Plaintiffs claim only that they have an 'expectation' that Google will send them search traffic when they provide content for free. But expectation is not an agreement, and that is how generic search engines work."1
The lawsuits were filed in 2025, with Google requesting dismissal earlier in the year.1
