💨 Abstract

The U.S. Justice Department is considering asking a judge to force Google to divest parts of its business due to an alleged illegal monopoly in online search. The potential remedies include selling off certain business units, stopping preferential treatment of its own local business pages, and licensing search results to competitors. This case, a major win for antitrust enforcers, has the potential to reshape internet search in America. Google plans to appeal the ruling.
