The US Justice Department is considering whether to seek a court order to break up Google’s business practices as part of its antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant. The government is exploring potential remedies to resolve the case, including forcing Google to sell off parts of its business or restructuring it through a court-supervised process. The lawsuit, filed in October 2020, alleges that Google has abused its dominance in online search and advertising to stifle competition. The Justice Department is weighing whether to seek a court order that would require Google to divest parts of its business, such as its advertising technology business or its video platform YouTube. Another option being considered is a court-supervised process that would require Google to restructure its business and establish internal firewalls to prevent favoring its own services over rivals. The case is expected to take years to resolve, and any potential remedies would likely face intense legal challenges from Google.
