The U.S. government is pushing for a significant breakup of Google’s search monopoly, proposing that the tech giant sell its Chrome browser. This follows a landmark ruling by Judge Amit P. Mehta, who found Google violated antitrust laws in August. The Justice Department argues that divesting Chrome is essential to dismantle Google's control over internet search and advertising, allowing competitors to thrive. Google has labeled the proposal as "radical," claiming it would harm user privacy and stifle innovation. The judge's decision, expected by August 2025, could reshape the tech landscape, potentially requiring Google to alter its business practices significantly. This includes banning exclusive agreements that favor its services and licensing search data to rivals. As the case unfolds, the implications for competition and consumer choice in the digital space are profound, marking a pivotal moment in antitrust enforcement against major tech companies.

Why does the F-ing govt get to decide what a company can and cannot do unless it's illegal? Kya zabadasti hai bhai. Paul Graham says competition is for losers and that we should aim to create a monopoly but god forbid someone actually does and then this happens.

This move is a bold attempt to curb Big Tech’s power, but can we really trust that competitors will offer better privacy and innovation once Google’s reign is over?
