DOJ Targets Google with Chrome Sale and Android Split

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly planning to ask a court to force Google to sell its Chrome browser and unbundle its Android operating system from other products to reduce its search monopoly. The DOJ aims to implement various remedies, including data licensing and transparency requirements, to prevent Google from dominating user data for search and AI. While Google plans to appeal, the DOJ may reserve the option to spin off Chrome if other measures fail. Critics argue the DOJ's approach could harm consumers and risk losing the appeal.
