The US Department of Justice aims to dismantle Google’s dominance in online searches, raising questions about the future of Big Tech and its influence.
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an effort to curtail Google’s dominance in the search engine market. Its proposal could reshape the landscape of Big Tech.
In an Oct. 8 filing, the DOJ called for the breakup of Google’s search business as part of its ongoing antitrust lawsuit, accusing the company of maintaining an illegal monopoly.
The DOJ’s proposal seeks significant changes to break Google’s hold on search and advertising. It includes structural changes, such as separating parts of Google’s search business and behavioral changes aimed at protecting consumers and fostering competition.
