Welcome to Google’s nightmare: US reveals plan to destroy search monopoly | DOJ goes for Google's throat with "staggering" remedies to end search monopoly.


DOJ goes for Google’s throat with “staggering” remedies to end search monopoly.

"The government has put forward a proposal that would free the search market from Google's illegal grip and unleash a new era of innovation, investment, and competition," Bazbaz said. But if the company can prove after five years that competition has substantially increased and it controls less than 50 percent of the market, the remedies could be terminated early, the DOJ's proposed final judgment order said. That's likely cold comfort for Google as it prepares to fight the DOJ's plan to break up its search empire and potentially face major new competitors.
