The U.S. Department of Justice has signaled it may ask a federal judge to force Google to divest key parts of its business, such as the Chrome browser or Android operating system, following a landmark antitrust ruling. In a court filing, prosecutors argued that structural changes are necessary to prevent the tech giant from maintaining its monopoly over the online search market. Google has criticized the move, describing the proposals as 'radical' and warning they could negatively impact consumer privacy and the broader tech ecosystem. While the DOJ's filing outlines the framework for potential remedies, legal analysts suggest the process will be lengthy, with a final decision not expected until at least mid-2025. The outcome of this case is widely viewed as a critical test for future regulatory actions against other major technology firms.
