US government considers a breakup of Google

The U.S. government is considering breaking up Google, marking the first potential dismantling of a major monopoly since AT&T’s breakup four decades ago.

The Justice Department may propose separating Google’s search business from Android, Chrome, and Google Play to prevent it from using these products to dominate search and emerging AI markets.

This follows a federal ruling that Google violated antitrust laws through exclusive contracts with companies like Apple.

Google criticized the move, warning it could harm consumers and innovation.

The case is expected to take years, with potential penalties including a ban on exclusive deals and promoting alternative search engines, CNN has reported.
