DOJ demands breakup of Google's search monopoly

nytimes.com

The U.S. Justice Department has reaffirmed its demand to break up Google's search monopoly in a recent court filing. This follows a previous court ruling that found Google illegally maintained its dominance in online search. The government is pushing for significant changes, including the sale of Google's Chrome browser. A judge will hear arguments from both the government and Google in April regarding proposed solutions. This move marks a continuation of regulatory pressure on Google, with the Justice Department also pursuing cases related to Google's advertising technology and its integrated system of devices and software.
