Google loses antitrust suit over search deals on phones

1y 10mon ago by programming.dev/u/starman in technology from www.bloomberg.com

Google illegally monopolized the search market through exclusive deals, a judge ruled Monday, handing the government a win in its first major antitrust case against a tech giant in more than two decades.

All i want them to do is break chrome and search into 2 companies.

4 companies, one for services (search, YouTube, etc), one for google workspace, one for software (android, chrome, chrome os, etc) and one for hardware

And a 5th: Advertising.

This will level the playing field a lot since Google wouldn't be able to subsidise their browser with ad money in order to show more ads in their search engine as well as feed their ads with data from the use of all their products.

Perfect maybe a 5th who they all pay 20% revenues to that invents things purly for the purpose of killing them.
