A U.S. District Judge ordered Google to share its search index and user data with competitors to level the playing field in the search engine market. Concerns arise about user privacy as third parties could access sensitive information. The ruling aims to help competitors build better search engines but raises questions about data security. A technical oversight committee will decide which companies qualify for the data and set privacy standards. Google may appeal the decision, prolonging the legal battle.
