The Justice Department asked the federal judge overseeing an antitrust case against Google to order the company to sell off its Chrome browser; to allow websites to opt out of having data trained by its Google’s AI models; and either have Google divest its Android phones business or have the court supervise its Android division. The filing comes after a ruling in August that found that Google had preserved the dominance of its search engine by acting as an illegal monopoly. Responded Google, “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 at precisely the moment it’s needed most.”
