The US Department of Justice (DOJ) continues its antitrust efforts against Google, proposing a divestiture of its Chrome browser and potentially Android to promote competition. The DOJ regards Google as an "economic goliath" that restricts consumer choice. The revised strategy also includes a more lenient stance, allowing Google to pay Apple for unrelated services and dropping demands regarding AI investments, calling instead for notifications to regulators before further AI actions. These adjustments reflect a complicated political backdrop, particularly under the Trump administration's influence over tech regulations.
The DOJ characterized Google as "an economic goliath" that has denied users their right to choose in the marketplace, necessitating divestiture of Chrome.
The revised proposal now supports Google paying Apple for non-search related services, easing some earlier demands for change in its business operations.
