Google is engaging with the U.S. Department of Justice to advocate against breakup proposals that label it an illegal monopoly. The company argues these measures could harm both the economy and national security. With the case now in its remedy phase, the DOJ previously recommended severe actions, including the sale of its Chrome browser and changes to its payment practices with partners like Apple. As the court's ruling approaches in April, Google is maneuvering to influence regulatory perceptions under the new administration's climate.
We routinely meet with regulators, including with the DOJ, to discuss this case. As we've publicly said, we're concerned that the current proposals would harm the American economy and national security.
The DOJ's recommendations will be overseen by Acting Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust Omeed Assefi, as a vote has not yet been scheduled on the confirmation of Gail Slater.
