The U.S. Department of Justice is examining the possibility of requesting a federal judge to force Google to sell parts of its business following a ruling that its widely used search engine is an illegal monopoly.
The fresh development per a court document filed by government lawyers, however, is merely one of the numerous potential remedies being examined.
In late-day court filings, government attorneys listed several possible remedies that the government may pursue. These remedies include limiting how Google’s artificial intelligence scrapes other websites to provide search results and preventing Google from paying Apple and other companies billions of dollars every year to guarantee that Google is the search engine that users see by default on devices like iPhones.
