DOJ Ponders Breaking Up Google to Address Search Monopoly

Google does not just monopolize — the company serves as a tool to suppress, control the narrative, and propagate the lies that the communist Democrats wanted the people to believe.

After a landmark ruling, where the court found Google guilty of monopolizing the search engine facilities, Biden’s Department of Justice is now mulling the possibility of breaking up the tech giant to restore competition.

The ruling also found the company guilty of monopolizing search text advertising markets.

In a report by Breitbart, this effort was the first time since the department attempted to break up Microsoft twenty years ago.

Those familiar with the agency’s deliberations also noted that the DOJ is also considering imposing lenient measures such as requiring Google to share data with competitors and imposing restrictions to ensure the company will not gain an unfair advantage in artificial intelligence advancement.

The DOJ mulls forcing Google to divest its Android operating system, the Chrome web browsers, and its text advertising arm, AdWords.

Unnamed sources further remarked that the agency will likely seek restrictions on Google using exclusivity agreements to maintain its market share.

This effort followed a recent verdict that found Google had a 90 percent monopoly on online searches and 95 percent of smartphone searches flowing through its search engine.

The court further ruled that the tech company had paid over $26 billion in 2021 to ensure that their search engine would be the default browsing facility on web browsers and smartphones.

A spokesperson for the DOJ meanwhile remarked that “the Justice Department is evaluating the court’s decision and will assess the appropriate next steps consistent with the court’s direction and the applicable legal framework for antitrust remedies. No decisions have been made at this time.”

Meanwhile, should the DOJ decide to take action, their plan must be amenable to Judge Amit Mehta, who presided over the case.

Mehta will then direct Google’s mother company, Alphabet, to comply. A forced divestment of Google would be the latest successful move of a US company since the government compelled AT&T to break up in the 1980s.

Aside from Google, federal antitrust regulators also filed charges against Meta – the parent company of Facebook and Instagram – and Amazon and Apple over accusations that Big Tech companies have illegally monopolized the markets.

The need to break up Google’s monopoly is backed by various internet advocacy groups who blasted Big Tech for using their resources to promote political agenda.

Former Facebook analyst Kara Frederick pressed during an interview on Fox News that “Technology is not neutral…when we’re creating these systems, you have to understand that these products were likely red-teamed. It means that they were workshopped within Google.”
