DOJ Considers Historic Google Breakup, Judge Amit Mehta Ruling, Search Data Sharing
Oct 9, 2024, 03:28 AM
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering recommending a historic breakup of Google as a remedy in its ongoing antitrust case. The DOJ has proposed that Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., be forced to sell off parts of its operations to address the monopolistic practices in the online search market. This move comes after a federal judge, Amit Mehta, ruled that Google maintained an illegal monopoly through exclusive agreements with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and browsers. The DOJ's proposed remedies, detailed in a 32-page document, go beyond these exclusivity deals, potentially reshaping the internet search industry. Options also include making Google share its search data. The case, which has garnered significant attention, could lead to major changes in Google's business practices and the broader tech landscape.
