Google doesn’t have to sell Chrome. That’s the big takeaway from the ruling that US District Judge Amit Mehta handed down yesterday, almost a year after he found that Google held an illegal monopoly in search. The Department of Justice had suggested that the search giant sell off its browser as recompense for the situation, but Mehta wrote, “Plaintiffs overreached in seeking forced divestiture.” Instead, GOOG can no longer broker exclusive search contracts, and it must share the data it uses to determine what search results to show. Google said it would appeal the decision, which would allow it to delay paying penalties.

President Trump said he would ask Supreme Court for expedited tariff ruling. Yesterday at the White House, Trump told reporters that his administration would be asking the Supreme Court for an “expedited ruling” as soon as today regarding last week’s finding by an appeals court that said most of the tariffs implemented by the Trump admin this year are illegal. The appeals court delayed its own ruling from taking effect until Oct. 14 so that the Supreme Court could weigh in and potentially overturn its decision. “If you take away tariffs, we could end up being a third-world country,” Trump said.

Anna Wintour’s successor at Vogue has been named. And the new head of editorial content at the storied fashion magazine is Chloe Malle, a 14-year veteran of the publication who was promoted from being the editor of Vogue.com. Malle is the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and the late French film director Louis Malle. For now, she’ll report directly to Wintour, who remains the global editorial director and chief content officer of Condé Nast.—HVL
