In a landmark decision on August 5, 2024, the US Department of Justice ruled Google an illegal monopolist for its anticompetitive search engine dominance practices.
The ruling, by Judge Amit P. Mehta, highlighted Google's monopolistic behavior but did not provide solutions, leading to suggestions of breaking up the company.
Bloomberg reports that if the DOJ pursues breaking up Google, Android and Chrome are likely to be the most divested units, alongside its AdWords business.
One proposed solution includes requiring Google to share its search data with competitors, addressing concerns over its unfair advantage in AI development.
