KEY POINTS

  • The Department of Justice late Tuesday indicated that it was considering a possible breakup of Google as an antitrust remedy.
  • The DOJ said it was “considering behavioral and structural remedies that would prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to advantage Google search.”
  • The judge has yet to decide on the remedies, and Google will likely appeal, drawing out the process potentially for years.

    A great question, Id never considered that previously.

    My instant gut feeling would be that they would all just continue selling adds, but as separate entities?

    Also how does breaking up google work when the current structure is that Alphabet is the primary company now?
