The DOJ has filed a court case against Google, urging the company to divest Chrome and potentially Android to curb anticompetitive practices.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has made a court filing in which it demanded that Google divest Chrome and potentially even Android to end its anti-competitive practices. The court filing also includes several other steps that would prevent Google from continuing its monopoly practices.
Here’s a quick summary of the filing:
Google cannot sign any contracts that would prevent other search engines from effectively competing against it.
Google cannot pay billions to Apple to remain the default search engine provider on Apple’s devices.
Google cannot sign any exclusive agreements with content publishers related to search.
Google cannot make any acquisitions in the general search services or search text ads markets without prior approval from the government.
