Trump's DoJ keeps pushing for Google to get rid of Chrome


Some companies - SpaceX, Starlink, Meta - are doing well under the current administration. Google, not so much.

The DoJ's latest filing, submitted to federal Judge Amit Mehta, maintains that Google must sell off Chrome to restore competition in the online search market. Google spokesperson Peter Schottenfels said in a statement, "DOJ's sweeping proposals continue to go miles beyond the Court's decision, and would harm America's consumers, economy and national security." Unlike previous demands, the department now requires only prior notification for future AI-related investments, allowing Google to continue its advancements in AI while ensuring regulatory oversight.
