The US Justice Department is considering asking for a breakup of Google, specifically targeting its Android operating system and Chrome browser as a remedy for its online search monopoly.
One of the extreme options on the table includes the divestment of Android or Chrome, which contribute significantly to Google's dominance by making Google Search the default engine.
The government could also pursue less extreme measures, like banning exclusive contracts that designate Google as the default search engine, promoting competition across the board.
Future competition measures may include stopping Google from using website content for AI products to enhance search results and requiring data licensing for rival search engines.
