WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google (GOOGL. O) must share data with rivals to open up competition in the online search market, a judge ruled Tuesday, while denying prosecutors' request for Google to sell Chrome browser. In addition, Google does not need to divest its Android operating system. In addition, Google plans to open a separate lawsuit in September against the Department of Justice, in which judges have ruled that Google holds an illegal monopoly in the field of online advertising technology, and will decide on remedies at that time. The Department of Justice's two lawsuits against Google are part of a broad bipartisan crackdown on big tech companies that began during President Trump's first term and involved Meta Platforms, Amazon and Apple. Shares of Google rose 6 percent in after-hours trading and Apple rose 4 percent after the ruling.
