Antitrust Actions: US Government’s Case to Dismantle Google and Chrome
The U.S. government has proposed a significant antitrust action against Google, potentially leading to the breakup of its key business units, including its Chrome browser.
This follows a ruling that Google violated antitrust laws by using its dominance in search to stifle competition.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering forcing Google to sell off Chrome and other services like Android, to prevent Google from leveraging these products to favor its search engine.
Google has criticized this move, arguing it could harm consumers and disrupt innovation.
