Judge Amit P. Mehta ruled that Google illegally maintained a monopoly by paying manufacturers to make its search engine the default, raising concerns on potential consumer impacts.
Antitrust remedies should promote competition and operational efficiency, yet the proposed actions by the Justice Department have not demonstrated a clear benefit for consumers.
The concern is that breaking up Google may lead to poorer quality outcomes, increased coordination costs, and reduced features that enhance user experience.
If the government breaks up Google as proposed, it could lead to a fractured ecosystem that complicates user access and diminishes the quality of search functionalities.
