DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg News reports

written by November 19, 2024

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Department of Justice will ask a judge to force Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s Google to sell off its Chrome browser, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the plans.

The DOJ will ask the judge, who ruled in August that Google illegally monopolized the search market, to require measures related to artificial intelligence and its Android smartphone operating system, the report said.

Google and the DOJ did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

The move would be one of the most aggressive attempts by the Biden administration to curb what it alleges are Big Tech monopolies.

Google maintains that its search engine has won users with its quality, adding that it faces robust competition from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and other sites and that users can choose other search engines as their default.

The government has the option to decide whether a Chrome sale is necessary at a later date if some of the other aspects of the remedy create a more competitive market, the Bloomberg report said.
