The US government wants Google to sell its Chrome browser to another company. The Department of Justice here has filed a petition in this regard in a local court. The department has demanded that the court order Google to sell its browser and at the same time stop all the works, which remains the company’s monopoly in the case of search. Let us know that before Donald Trump became President, who had to follow strict policies even during Biden’s tenure.
Government demands this
In the petition filed in the court, the government has said that Google is creating such a situation for the marketplace that whatever happens, victory should always be its. Because of this, American people are forced to accept the unbridled conditions of the company. Explain that the government’s proposal came after an order of the court in August last year. It was said in this order that Google has created its monopoly by giving web browsers and smartphone companies to use their search engine. In the trial in 2023, it was revealed that in 2021, Google spent an amount of $ 26.3 billion for these agreements.
Google will appeal against the decision
Google has decided to appeal against this decision of the court. While filing its reply in the court, the company said that some minor improvements are needed. The company suggested that it should be allowed to make compromises for prime placement, but it would remove the condition of not including other search engines in its agreements. A spokesman for the company said that the government’s proposal could be a threat to American users, economy and national security.
