New Delhi: The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is planning to urge the court to force Google to sell its Chrome browser in the ongoing antitrust case against Google. In the antitrust case, the court had said that Google had illegally maintained a monopoly in the search market. Chrome is the most used browser in the world. Google uses it to promote its other products, which limits the growth of its competition. According to a Bloomberg report, government lawyers say that Google's search monopoly is harming the competition. Additionally, it has become a big issue for Google to use Chrome to promote its products.
“A radical agenda”
Google Google's Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Lee-Ann Mulholland told Bloomberg that the Justice Department is "pursuing a radical agenda in this case that goes far beyond the legal issues." Google says that this move could adversely affect the company's competitive environment and have a negative impact on the industry. The US Justice Department may demand some important changes from Google.
These terms may be imposed on Google
1. These also include the condition of Google separating Android from Search and Google Play.
2. Google will not be forced to sell Android.
3. Additionally, Google will have to share more information with advertisers
4. They must be given the right to decide where their advertisements are shown
The US Justice Department wants….
The US Justice Department also wants Google to provide websites with more options to prevent their content from being used by Google's artificial intelligence products. It may recommend that Google be banned from engaging in specific contracts that were at the center of antitrust cases and harmed competitors.
