I always thought the foundem case was backed by Microsoft? Maybe I'm mis-remembering but I'm sure I read that somewhere?

"By now the couple had been joined by numerous other complainants, including Expedia, TripAdvisor and Microsoft"

It's also even in the second paragraph: 'being the first plaintiff, the others being Yelp, etc...'

The article's title is extreme clickbait. This couple didn't "take on" Google, or even this case. A European commission took on the case, representing the interests of many corporations.
