In a prominent antitrust trial, Google began its defense against government allegations of market dominance in internet search. A senior Google executive cautioned against the government's suggestion to release extensive user search data to rivals, asserting such actions could jeopardize user privacy and national security. The Justice Department had previously rested its case, advocating for structural changes that include separating Google Chrome and Android from its main business and prohibiting its agreements with major companies like Apple. Google maintains that these changes could cause privacy breaches and undermine security due to its collaboration with the government.
The Justice Department's proposed remedies, including the release of user search data, raise significant security and privacy concerns, according to Google's defense.
Google argues that breaking off Chrome and Android, along with ending lucrative default search deals, would compromise user privacy and national security.
