Antitrust concerns and potential breakup of Google
The Justice Department is considering breaking up Google after a court ruling found it monopolized the online search market. Options include forcing Google to share data with competitors and preventing unfair advantage in AI products. A ban on exclusive contracts may be sought, with potential divestment of Android, Chrome, and AdWords. The ruling by Judge Amit Mehta intensifies discussions, with concerns raised about Google's search dominance affecting AI development.
