US Department of Justice considering breaking up Google: report
The US Department of Justice is considering breaking up Google following a recent court ruling that found the company had illegally monopolized the online search market. Options being explored include forcing Google to divest Android, AdWords, or Chrome, and sharing data with competitors. This comes as part of a broader crackdown on Big Tech monopolies, with similar actions taken against Meta, Amazon, and Apple in recent years. Reuters
