U.S. Justice Department Advocates for Google Asset Divestiture in Antitrust Case

According to PANews, the U.S. Department of Justice has proposed at a Washington antitrust hearing that Google should be compelled to divest core assets, including its Chrome browser, to dismantle its monopoly in the online search sector. Prosecutors argue that Chrome serves as a crucial gateway for users to access search engines, and its separation could enable competitors to gain market data and enhance their services. The hearing is expected to last three weeks, with a final decision on the 'remedial measures' anticipated this summer.
