US Considers Court or Breaking Up Google as It Weighs Remedies in Antitrust Case

The US Justice Department is considering pushing for a court-enforced breakup of Google’s business operations as part of its antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant. The government is exploring measures to make Google sell off portions of its business, including its dominant advertising tech businesses. The potential conflict with one of the world’s most influential companies could be an epic court case. The Justice Department’s antitrust case against Google, first filed in 2020, alleges the company has abused its market power to fend off rivals. The case is expected to go to trial in September 2023. Google has fiercely denied any wrongdoing and has vowed to fight the case vigorously. The company argues that its services have benefited consumers and that its success is based on building good products that people want to use.
