Chegg, a large education technology company, sued Google over AI Overviews. Chegg claimed AI Overviews have hurt its traffic and revenue, which in part is leading the company to find options for selling itself.

Meanwhile, most don’t believe that Chegg will win the lawsuit. But some would prefer this lawsuit to be a class action lawsuit so other companies and publishers can join a fight against Google in court.

Will Chegg beat Google? Doubtful. But it is nice to see someone try.
