U.S. Justice Department Pushes Google to Divest Chrome
The Biden administration seeks to dismantle Google's search monopoly by targeting its browser and mobile operating system.
- Google, holding a 90% share of the global online search market, faces demands to sell its Chrome browser.
- The Justice Department's move follows a federal ruling that Google illegally monopolized online search.
- Proposals include separating Android from Google's other services and addressing AI-generated search results.
- These actions aim to enhance competition in online search and the growing AI industry.
- Google plans to appeal the decision, potentially delaying significant changes for years.
