US Department of Justice Seeks to Break Up Google Monopoly
The Department of Justice is seeking to break Google into several parts to solve its search monopoly, with the company divesting itself of Android and Chrome as possible solutions.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed radical changes to Google as part of its ongoing antitrust lawsuit against the company. These potential changes include splitting off Chrome or Android, forcing Google to share search queries with competitors, limiting how it promotes its search, and changing the online advertising market. Google's vice president of regulatory affairs argues that these measures would hurt consumers and innovation, and warns they go beyond the scope of the court case.
