DOJ INDICATES IT'S CONSIDERING GOOGLE BREAKUP FOLLOWING MONOPOLY RULING

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The Department of Justice has indicated that it is considering behavioral and structural remedies as a result of its monopoly ruling against Google. The remedies could include contract requirements and prohibitions, non-discrimination product requirements, data and interoperability requirements, and structural requirements. They may include limiting or prohibiting default agreements and other revenue-sharing arrangements related to search and search-related products. The remedies are still far from being decided - Judge Amit Mehta says he'll aim to rule on the remedies by August 2025, and an appeal by Google will likely draw out any impact for potentially years.
