Summary
The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) plans to ask a judge to force Google to sell its Chrome browser, aiming to break up its dominance in the search market and address antitrust violations.
The DoJ also seeks structural remedies for Google’s role in artificial intelligence and the Android ecosystem, along with data licensing requirements.
Google, controlling 90% of the global search market, has called the actions an overreach that would harm consumers.
This follows an earlier court ruling finding Google guilty of maintaining an illegal monopoly. Proposed remedies are due by December 20.
My gut says this is a play for elon to buy it to clamp down on communication
