The U.S. government continues its legal battle against Google, focusing on dismantling its monopoly in online advertising ahead of a remedies trial scheduled for September 22. The DOJ has previously secured a ruling confirming Googleâs illegal practices that obstructed competition. Following a separate case where Google was found liable for monopolizing the search market, there are considerations for divesting parts of its operations, including the Chrome browser and Android OS. Google is resisting these efforts, seeking to overturn potential breakups of its ad tech monopoly.
Google attempted to eliminate the possibility of divestitures during the hearings, essentially aiming for a decisive victory against the Justice Department's push to break up its monopolistic control.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta has found Google liable for monopolizing both the general search engine market and text-based searches, now evaluating potential divestments of crucial assets.
