This is exactly what will happen. Same thing with Albertsons and Kroger too.
Okay but consider them taking this moment to let Elon buy it and using it to control information on the clients end 💀
This is the last antitrust win we'll get for years, isn't it?
I know Trump doesn't like Big Tech, but I doubt his admin will punish them meaningfully, but just rail about censorship.
Just...please for the love of whatever dirty do Microsoft. Fucking sick of their shit recently with One Drive.
There's literally so much else they should do, google docs, sheets, drive, phones, maps, earth, calendar, play store, translate, etc.
Good work, continue please.
What is the issue with docs, sheets, drive, phones, calendar, play store?
There seems to be plenty of options in all of these spaces. Play store isn't even on a lot of android devices.
>sell Chrome to open search monopoly
>Chrome isn't a search engine but a web browser
Yeah, Google pays other companies lots of money to have its search engine enabled by default. That's what the lawsuit argued, so I'm not sure how separating chrome from the company will change that...
Alphabet’s Chief Legal Officer Kent Walker, says the DOJ is pushing “a radical interventionist agenda that would harm Americans and America’s global technology leadership.”
I'm honestly curious how this would "harm Americans".
Alphabet’s Chief Legal Officer sounds like Donald Trump
I fear this is exactly who they're courting.
That statement is technically true.
The billionaire owners are Americans.
The corporations are people too!
Everyone really does need to have that at the forefront of their mind. When the C-suit, wall street, and politicians talk about "Americans" they aren't talking about us schlubs.
Google pretending they have any other nationality other then “the global internet” is cute in a disgusting way.
What the what?
"sell your browser, that'll limit your search monopoly"
. . . HAH?
It has 67% market share, and the default search is Google.
If they're allowed to choose who they sell it to this won't change anything
Sell it to Mozilla so they can make it uninstall itself and install Firefox instead in the next update
I think they should sell it to me.
4 $ Final Offer
Too much for me, I'm out 🏳️
What does Chrome have to do with search? 🤔
Google is the default search engine for chrome, and chrome is the single most popular browser at about 95% market share.
Step 1: Buy Chome
Step 2: End development
Step 3: ???
Step 4: ~~Profit?~~ Non-Profit Firefox?
They should force it to become a worker cooperative. It's the only solution that doesn't allow for corruption
brOURser comrade.
Nationalize?
Yep, nationalize everything that's essential or at least offer a nationalized alternative and let the private sector try to compete.
The Reuters article suggests prohibiting payments to Apple so that Chrome users on their hardware default to Google search. What about default settings to Firefox? Similar agreements finance a large portion of Mozilla's revenue.
Big doubt anything actually happens.
Admittedly, I don't know enough about monopolies and antitrust laws to know how much this matters. Can someone ELI5 this and give us more info?
Sounds like they are preparing for this by killing off ChromeOS

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
Is the DOJ the only working system in the US now?
FTC works. For now.
Obviously not. Trump is still free.
