Google, which came out with the Pixel 9 series yesterday, is on the agenda today with a sad case. The company, which is accused of bringing the Google search engine and Chrome browser pre-installed on Android devices in the lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice, may have to break up.
Are Google, Chrome and Android being separated from each other?
As you know, all Android devices come with many Google services such as the Google search engine and Chrome browser installed. This situation is considered a violation of the law by the US District Court. The court, which claims that Google creates unfair competition, seems to be separating Google and Android from each other.
The company, which provides services in many areas, is seen as a monopoly on online search due to its frequent use. While this situation makes Google superior to its competitors, the company, which also connects its systems, has been caught in the focus of the US Department of Justice. The company, which was found to have a monopoly on online search by offering the search engine and Chrome browser pre-installed on Android devices, is faced with some options due to the violation of the law.
The US Department of Justice offers some options for Google to get rid of this violation. The first of these is to separate Android and Chrome from Google. Other options include a forced sale of the AdWords business, requirements to ensure that AdWords works seamlessly on other search engines, a ban on exclusive search contracts, and forcing Google to sell or license its data to rivals like Bing or DuckDuckGo.
The US District Court, which is also reportedly likely to order Google to divest itself of Android, is currently in the decision phase. It seems that Google could lose its major platforms if it continues to dominate the market without complying with the law. What do you think about this? We are waiting for your ideas in the comments.
