DOJ Proposes Structural Changes, Potential Divestiture of Chrome, Android, Play in Google Antitrust Case
Oct 9, 2024, 02:22 AM
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has outlined potential remedies in the Google search antitrust case, proposing structural changes that could prevent Google from using its Chrome, Play, and Android platforms to give its search engine an unfair advantage. The DOJ is considering remedies that would limit Google's use of contracts, monopoly profits, and other tools to control distribution channels. Additionally, the DOJ's proposed framework includes potential divestiture of Chrome, Android, and Play as remedies to Google's antitrust abuses. The DOJ's proposal, described by some as a 'remedy spaghetti' approach, includes measures not directly related to Judge Mehta's ruling. The final proposal from the DOJ is due on November 20th. Google has criticized the proposed remedies as 'radical and sweeping.'
