Google Proposes Changes to Search Deals, Rejects Chrome Sale Amid DOJ Antitrust Lawsuit
Dec 21, 2024, 03:51 AM
Google has proposed changes to its search engine agreements in response to the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit. The company characterized the DOJ's plan to force the sale of its Chrome browser as 'extreme' and inconsistent with legal standards. In its proposal, Google aims to address concerns over search dominance by allowing browser companies to enter into multiple default agreements and modifying its Android agreements to be non-exclusive. This would enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to separate the Play Store from Chrome and Search. Google also expressed caution about the potential impact of the DOJ's proposals on innovation and future investments in the tech sector. The company has rejected the DOJ's call for a breakup, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to antitrust remedies.
