The US Department of Justice hinted that it may recommend splitting Google into smaller parts, separating the search engine giant from Chrome, Android, and the Google Play app store.
This will prevent Google from using its products, such as Chrome, Play, and Android, to give itself an advantage over rivals or new entrants in Google search and Google search-related products and features, including emerging search access points and features, such as artificial intelligence, according to the government’s court filing.
The Justice Department has suggested modifications in response to a federal judge’s August decision finding that Google had violated US antitrust law with its search business. The ruling, in which the judge called Google a “monopolist,”
Google’s blog post claimed that the government’s proposed strategy might worsen the user experience, labeling it “radical.” According to Google, it might “break” Chrome and Android, impede AI advancement, and compel the business to divulge customer data to rivals, jeopardizing privacy.
The firm stated on its blog that “this case is about a set of search distribution contracts.” “The government appears to be pursuing a broad agenda that will impact numerous industries and products, with significant unintended consequences for consumers, businesses, and American competitiveness,” the statement reads. “Rather than focusing on that.”
In the case, the US government contended that Google had shut out competitors in search by using a variety of interlocking strategies and products under its control, giving customers limited options and a less inventive ecosystem
The case focused on Google’s billion-dollar exclusive agreements with other tech firms, such as Apple, to become the default search engine on mobile devices and web browsers. Amit Mehta, a US District Judge, declared those agreements anticompetitive.
Having established that Google violated the law, the next phase of the litigation will involve determining the fines the business will pay for its misconduct. The matter is still in its early phase, and Google has promised to challenge Mehta’s initial ruling. The entire procedure, including the appeal, may take several months or even years to complete.
