US Department of Justice calls for Google to sell Chrome to end search monopoly

ai generated text

Google is facing a landmark antitrust case in Washington that could result in significant changes to its business practices, according to articles provided. The US Department of Justice is seeking to impose a decade-long settlement that would require Google to: sell its Chrome browser to rivals; share data with competitors; and end its multi-billion dollar agreements with device makers, including deals to make Google the default search engine on smartphones.

    1. The court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly.
    2. The end result here is not dissimilar from the Microsoft court's conclusion as to the browser market.
    3. Just as the agreements in that case 'help[ed] keep usage of Navigator below the critical level necessary for Navigator or any other rival to pose a real threat to Microsoft's monopoly,' Google's distribution agreements have constrained the query volumes of its rivals, thereby inoculating Google against any genuine competitive threat.
  2. Alphabet Inc
    1. Google's unlawful behaviour has deprived rivals not only of critical distribution channels but also distribution partners who could otherwise enable entry into these markets by competitors in new and innovative ways.

    1. DOJ's approach would result in unprecedented government overreach that would harm American consumers, developers, and small businesses -- and jeopardize America's global economic and technological leadership.
    2. It would break a range of Google products - even beyond Search - people love and find helpful in their everyday lives.
    3. DOJ's wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the court's decision.

    1. Such an event would be a major disruption, even for the [digital] market.
