Apple faces Canadian class action over Google search deal

A Canadian court has certified a class action lawsuit against Apple over its agreement making Google the default search engine on Safari. The lawsuit alleges that the deal discouraged Apple from developing its own search engine, limited competition and allowed Google to charge advertisers inflated prices. The case covers Canadian businesses that purchased Google search ads since 2005. The ruling allows the lawsuit to proceed but does not establish that Apple acted unlawfully.
