The US Department of Justice has proposed remedies to address Google's monopolistic practices, suggesting that the company sell Chrome and stay out of the browser market for five years. In response, Google representatives have met with officials from the Trump administration, advocating for a less aggressive approach. They emphasize the potential impact on the national economy and security. Key figures from Google have publicly opposed the DOJ's aggressive stance, arguing it could harm competition and American technological leadership amid ongoing concerns about the company's dominance in search and advertising markets.
Representatives from Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc., met with government officials last week. They urged Trump's DOJ to pursue less disruptive measures citing concerns of national security, according to anonymous sources who spoke to Bloomberg.
Google's vice president, Lee-Anne Mulholland, didn't like the ruling one bit, saying, "The government putting its thumb on the scale in these ways would harm consumers, developers and American technological leadership at precisely the moment it is most needed."
