US Government Considers Breakup of Google in Antitrust Case

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is actively exploring the possibility of breaking up Google as part of remedies for its ongoing antitrust case against the tech giant. This landmark case highlights concerns over Google's monopoly in online search and advertising services. DOJ officials have laid out potential options aimed at boosting competition, which might include forcing Google to divest parts of its business, such as its Android operating system, Chrome browser, and advertising technologies.
