Department of Justice also likely to ask for curbs on use of the service’s results in training AI models in broad remedy
The US Department of Justice is expected to ask a judge to force Google to divest one or more of its core products, including its Chrome browser and Android mobile operating system, among the potential remedies to curb its power over online search.
Google’s contracts totalled more than $26bn in 2021 alone, with about $20bn of that going to Apple, helping to entrench Google as the default search engine on the popular mobile device. A Google spokesperson declined to comment and referenced a blog post published last month that said the “blueprint goes well beyond the legal scope of the court’s decision about search distribution contracts”, and reiterated plans to appeal. The DoJ declined to comment.
