According to a court submission on Friday, the US Department of Justice is still demanding Google to sell web browser Chrome.
DOJ suggested that Google should sell Chrome under President Joe Biden last year, but it seems to stick to the plan according to the second Trump administration. However, this department no longer requires that Google will sell all investments in artificial intelligence, including billions of dollars poured into humanity.
“Google’s illegal activities have created an economical Goliath.
DOJ is a marketplace so that Google can always win in the submission signed by Omeed Assefi, the current acting lawyer of the monopoly. (Trump’s candidate, who led Doj’s monopoly law, is still waiting for confirmation.)
For this reason, DOJ said it did not change the “core components” of the initial proposal, including the ban on the sale of Chrome’s sale and distribution partners.
In the AI, DOJ said he would no longer require “a must -see of Google’s AI Investment,” and instead he would be satisfied with “notice of future investment.” In addition, he said that he would leave a future decision in the court, depending on whether the market is more competitive, instead of providing an option to sell Android to Google.
The proposal followed the monopoly lawsuit filed by DOJ and 38 state ministers, and Judge Amit P. Mehta ruled that Google acted illegally to maintain monopoly in online search. Google said it would appeal to Mehta’s decision, but suggested an alternative suggestion that it would solve his concerns by providing more flexibility to partners.
Google spokesman told Reuters that DOJ’s proposal is a few miles away beyond the court’s decision and will harm the US consumer, economy and national security.
Mehta will listen to Google and DOJ in April.
