Less understood, however, is how Google\u2014through its unlawful and unchecked, monopolistic conduct over the past decade\u2014secured the American people\u2019s reliance. Google\u2019s anticompetitive conduct has denied users of a basic American value\u2014the ability to choose in the marketplace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The remedy for this, according to the plaintiffs, is to &#8220;require Google to divest Chrome\u2014a critical distribution point\u2014to shield against self-preferencing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the court filing calls for a provision for Google to divest Android and includes measures to prohibit Google from making &#8220;exclusionary third-party agreements&#8221; in which Google pays partners to be the default search engine on their devices or services. The most notable of these deals is Google&#8217;s partnership with Apple, which the RPFJ references numerous times, calling such deals &#8220;unlawful distribution agreements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All of that effectively means Google may be forced to sell off Chrome, potentially sell Android, and end agreements with third-parties in which Google pays to be the default search engine. The court filing even suggests the judge should &#8220;require Google to share data to offset the scale disadvantage that its unlawful conduct has created.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the only thing the DOJ seems to have taken a step back on is AI. The new proposal backed down on limitations to Google&#8217;s AI investments, a slight shift in Google&#8217;s favor since the initial proposed remedies.<\/p>\n<p>District Judge Amit Mehta had already <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/google-is-a-monopolist-says-us-judge-in-ruling-on-exclusivity-deals-to-get-google-search-on-all-your-platforms-all-the-time\/\" target=\"_blank\">ruled back in August 2024<\/a> that Google had a monopoly in search, but how Google is ordered to resolve that remains up for debate\u2014or, in this case, litigation.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind\u2014this is an ongoing case and the March 7 court filing is just a proposal from the DOJ, not a final ruling. Breaking up monopolies is certainly a good thing for consumers, but as <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/browsers\/google-being-pushed-to-sell-off-chrome-is-likely-a-good-thing-but-dont-cheer-on-the-decision-just-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\">PC Gamer&#8217;s James Bentley has pointed out<\/a>, &#8220;Selling off [Chrome] could indeed leave consumers open to bad practices, both technically and ethically, from the potential buyer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, it will be important for the court to take steps to ensure that if Google <em>is<\/em> forced to sell Chrome, it ends up in the hands of a responsible company or organization. After all, this is the most popular web browser in the world we&#8217;re talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Google has repeatedly <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/google-asks-trumps-doj-to-please-please-please-reconsider-parting-it-from-chrome\/\" target=\"_blank\">pleaded for the DOJ to back off<\/a>, calling the DOJ&#8217;s proposals a &#8220;radical interventionist agenda&#8221;, but it doesn&#8217;t look like that&#8217;s going to happen now, especially with hearings set to kick off in April.<\/p>\n<p>The judge will have the final say in whether Google has to sell Chrome and potentially even Android, but this is shaping up to be a landmark antitrust case the likes of which we haven&#8217;t seen since <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/what-microsofts-antitrust-case-teaches-us-about-silicon-valley\/\" target=\"_blank\">the litigation against Microsoft in 1998<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"a24ae916-18c8-4652-9964-29b49d9d012f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/google-must-divest-the-chrome-browser-doj-renews-call-for-google-to-sell-chrome-and-android-could-be-next.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"a24ae916-18c8-4652-9964-29b49d9d012f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/google-must-divest-the-chrome-browser-doj-renews-call-for-google-to-sell-chrome-and-android-could-be-next\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Justice is reaffirming its demands for action to break up Google&#8217;s search monopoly, calling for the sale of Chrome and potentially Android as well.
