The Ministry of Justice doubled on Friday on the demand that Google sold its Chrome web browsersignals that the Trump card The administration continues the Biden administrationAggressive approach to recruitment in technology giants.
In a court registration, the department repeated their request that Judge Amit P. Mehta Forcing Google to sell chrome and end practices, which enabled the search giant to maintain what the court was an illegal monopoly in the online search last year.
The proposal states that Google “Chrome, immediately and fully sold, together with all assets or services that are necessary to successfully complete the sale, to a buyer approved by the plaintiffs at their own discretion, subject to conditions that the court and the plaintiffs successfully approved.”

No matter what happens – Google always wins

“The illegal behavior of Google has created an economic Goliath that devastates the market to ensure that Google always wins,” said the government on Friday. “The American people are forced to accept the unbridled requirements and shifts of the ideological preferences of an economic Leviathan in return for one Search engine The public can enjoy. “
The proposal follows the landmark of Judge Mehta in August 2024 that Google has illegally retained its search monopoly by paying web browser and smartphone manufacturer for the search engine. During the 2023 study, Google paid 26.3 billion US dollars for these agreements in 2021 alone.
“Due to its sheer size and unrestricted power, Google has robbed Consumers and companies of a fundamental promise that was due to the public – to choose their right to choose between competing services”, in the DOJ declaration that accompanies the applications for claims.
Richter Mehta found that around 70 percent of US searches take place via portals in which Google is the standard search engine, whereby Google’s sales agreements can make it impossible for smaller search competitors to take part in competitions. During the 2023 study, Google paid 26.3 billion US dollars for the offers for default placement on devices and browsers in 2021. Google argued that users selected their search engine because they were superior to competitors such as Microsoft’s Bing or Duckduckgo.
The Ministry of Justice wants Google to no longer conclude paid agreements with Apple, Mozilla and smartphone manufacturers in order to be the standard search engine. It is also asked to force Google to enable competing search engines to display the results of Google and access its data for a decade.

Doj changes his previous proposals to Google

In a revision of earlier proposals, the government no longer demands that Google sell its products for artificial intelligence and calls on the company to notify federal and state officials before proceed with AI investments.
The submission was signed by OMEED A. Asefi, who heads the cartel department, while Trump’s candidate Gail Slater, is waiting for the Senate confirmation.
Google, which is intended to make the decision of Richter Mehta appeal, submitted his own proposal on Friday, which claimed his position that minimal changes are required. The company proposes to allow continued payments for the first -class placement, but with less restrictive agreements that enable other search engines to compete on telephones and browsers.
“The government’s proposals would affect consumers, the economy and the national security of America,” said Google spokesman Peter Schottenfels in a statement.
Google Chief Legal Officer, Kent Walkerpreviously referred to as a “radical interventionist agenda” that “endanger the security and privacy of millions of Americans” and suffocate innovations.
Judge Mehta is said to listen to the competing proposals in April, although Google has already stated that it will be involved in the proper appeal, probably a long -term legal process.
