Technical News Office – The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has further intensified its antitrust measures against Google. The department’s goal is to reduce Google’s monopoly in the online search market and promote competition. The action raised questions about Google’s Chrome browser and its relationship with other services.
These allegations against Google
Recently, a lower court ruled that Google had created an illegal monopoly in the online search market. The DOJ says Chrome’s relationship with other Google products stifles competition. The government claims Google cross-promoted its products using Chrome and discouraged innovation in the market.
The DOJ suggested this
The DOJ suggested that Google separate its Android operating system from Search and Google Play. However, there has been no demand to sell the Chrome browser completely. However, the DOJ recommended sanctions against Google’s business tactics. Also asked to share data with advertisers and marketers. Additionally, advertisers will need to have control over ad placement, allowing websites to opt out of the use of Google’s AI data.
Google raised questions
On the other hand, Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google’s vice president of regulatory relations, questioned the DOJ’s recommendations. He says these proposals go beyond the legal issues raised in the lawsuit. Although the DOJ initially requested the complete sale of Android, it now insists on separating Android only from Search and Google Play.
