The Department of Justice will recommend that Google be made to sell Chrome, unbundle Android from products like the Play Store, and create AI opt-outs, writes Bloomberg.
The Department of Justice is planning to ask for Google’s antitrust trial judge to force the company to sell off its Chrome browser after the judge ruled the company has maintained an illegal search monopoly, reports Bloomberg. Chrome is the world’s most widely used browser, and the government’s lawyers have argued that its use in cross-promoting Google’s products is one of the things limiting available channels and incentives for competition to grow.
Another requirement would say it has to share more information with advertisers and that it “give them more control over where their ads appear,” the outlet writes. Bloomberg also reports that officials will recommend that the company “give websites more options to prevent their content from being used by Google’s artificial intelligence products.” Finally, they will reportedly push for “a ban on the type of exclusive contracts that were at the center of the case against Google.
