The Justice Department is considering asking the court to break up Google. This followed an earlier ruling on Google’s unlawful monopoly over its search engine.

According to an American judge, Google is said to have created an illegal monopoly around its search engine. In response to the August ruling, Justice Department officials discussed what action they should take to ask a federal judge to issue a preliminary injunction against the search giant. One of these proposals was to spin off Google, for example the Chrome browser or the Android operating system. Now the US Department of Justice is considering filing a motion to break up Google.

Google has split

After a ruling in August about the illegal monopoly that Google has built, the US Justice Department is now considering asking the court to break up Google. The ministry speaks of “structural remedies,” which actually means the break-up of Google. Specifically, this means Play, Android and Google Chrome will be separated from Google, meaning the tech giant can no longer use them to favor Google Search over other competitors.

In addition, Justice also talks about other remedies, including opening up Google Search to competitors via an API. In addition, they are also not satisfied with the partnerships that Google has, for example, with Apple, with which the company ensures that Google Search is the default search engine for Apple products.

These are just proposals that the ministry is currently considering, but final measures are expected to be presented in November. Only then will the judge decide whether these measures will be implemented or not.
