US considers breaking up Google over anti-trust case — Bloomberg

The judge ruled Google’s Alphabet unit monopolized online search ads. Now, antitrust enforcers are soliciting input from outside companies — a rare bid to break up Alphabet Inc.’s Google, just one of the options being considered by the US Department of Justice (DoJ).

The move would be Washington’s first push to dismantle a tech company for illegal monopolization since unsuccessful efforts to break up Microsoft Corp. two decades ago. If the DoJ pushes ahead with a breakup plan, the most likely units for divestment are the Android operating system, Google’s web browser Chrome and AdWords. RT
