DOJ to Propose Initial Remedies for Google's Antitrust Case Targeting Chrome and Android

Oct 8, 2024, 01:01 PM

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to propose its initial remedy thoughts for Google's search antitrust case. The DOJ's approach could range from narrow measures to broad actions aimed at satisfying critics of Google's market dominance. This marks a significant moment in antitrust law, as the DOJ considers breaking up Google by targeting its Chrome browser and Android operating system. The difficulties in finding effective remedies for Google highlight broader challenges in maintaining competition within the tech industry. This case, along with other ongoing antitrust cases, could potentially end a 40-year period during which U.S. antitrust enforcers have not broken up a major company.
