Google could lose control of Android and Chrome in antitrust case against US DOJ

The US Department of Justice has proposed measures to remove Google's monopoly in the market. These measures include considering the possibility of separating Android, Google Play and Chrome from Google.

Here's What We Know

The decision follows a US District Court verdict that found Google a monopoly for violating antitrust laws by using its dominant position to promote its default search engine on browsers and devices. Other rulings include allowing websites to opt out of learning or appearing in Google-owned AI products, such as AI reviews on Google Search.

Google said the DOJ's "radical and sweeping proposals risk harming consumers, businesses and developers" and intends to appeal the court's decision. The company also warned that separating Chrome and Android would change their business models, increase the cost of devices and undermine Android and Google Play as competitors to Apple's iPhone and App Store.

How the fight between the US DOJ and Google will end, and what fate awaits Android and Chrome - we will find out in the near future.
