The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has suggested a potential breakup of Google as part of its antitrust case against the tech giant, citing unhealthy competition in the search engine market. In a recent court filing, DOJ attorneys outlined various remedies, including limiting Google's contracts that keep its search engine as the default on browsers and devices. This move signifies a serious approach to curtailing perceived monopolistic behaviors, and follows a landmark ruling by Judge Amit Mehta that concluded Google illegally monopolized online search. Google has pushed back against the DOJ's proposals, promising to appeal.
