Antitrust Case Against Google

The DOJ has proposed remedies in the antitrust case against Google, including selling the Chrome browser and imposing restrictions on the Android operating system. Google opposes the proposed remedies, stating they go beyond the court's decision and would harm consumers, the economy, and national security.

Google's response to DOJ antitrust concerns

Google presents its own remedies to address DOJ's antitrust concerns, focusing on unbundling Android apps instead of selling off major divisions like Chrome. The proposed solutions involve payments to companies, licensing deals with Android manufacturers, and contracts with wireless carriers. Google's plan prohibits certain deals for three years and allows for revisiting agreements annually. The company plans to appeal a ruling declaring it a monopolist and will submit a revised proposal before a trial in April.

Google's Illegal Monopoly Ruling in the US

A federal judge has ruled that Google has an illegal monopoly in the US, leading to potential big changes for the company. The next steps involve deciding on remedies for its illegal conduct, with possibilities ranging from a breakup to sharing data with other companies. Google plans to appeal the ruling, and the final outcome could be influenced by higher courts and the next president's Justice Department.
