The US government is considering a potential court case to break up Google’s business, according to a top Justice Department official. Jonathan Kanter, the department’s antitrust chief, stated that forcing a company to sell off assets is ‘on the table’ as the agency pursues an antitrust lawsuit against Google. The lawsuit, filed in 2020, accuses the tech giant of abusing its dominance in online search and advertising. Kanter emphasized that the Justice Department will seek ‘structural relief,’ which could involve the divestiture of certain businesses. However, he acknowledged that such a solution would be a ‘closely guarded’ process and a ’last resort.’ The case reflects the Biden administration’s efforts to rein in big tech companies and promote competition. Google has denied the antitrust allegations and vowed to fight the lawsuit.
