Justice Department's Antitrust Case Against Google

The US Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging that the company's dominance in the search engine market is a result of anti-competitive practices. As part of the lawsuit, the Justice Department is demanding that Google sell its Chrome browser, which is currently the most widely used browser in the world.

The Justice Department argues that Google's control of Chrome gives it an unfair advantage in the search engine market, allowing it to prioritize its own search results and stifle competition from other search engines. By selling Chrome, the Justice Department hopes to promote competition and give other search engines a fair chance to compete.

Google's Response

Google has responded to the Justice Department's demands, arguing that the company's practices are not anti-competitive and that selling Chrome would not be in the best interests of its users. Google has also pointed out that the company has already made significant changes to its search algorithm to promote competition and give users more choices.

Despite Google's objections, the Justice Department remains committed to its demands, and the case is likely to go to trial. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for the search engine market and the future of online competition.
