Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report
The feds are also weighing “less severe” options, such as requiring Google to share data with rival search engines such as DuckDuckGo and Microsoft’s Bing.

Do it! Then, do every single major conglomerate they've allowed to form over the last 30 years
Antitrust comes in waves in the US. First, it's a free for all to let the tech develop freely...then you see the horrors and a time of antitrust kicks in. This would be the 4th wave since the Sherman Act. Let's hope it's a good one.
Interesting! Go ooooonnnn 😍
That's all I had, I'm not an expert, but I hope they go after FB and microsoft too (in case that makes you feel randy like that other guy in the comments) :P
Do you think they’d do Apple?
A human can live their whole life without ever interacting with an Apple product by mistake. I'm not sure about that for android/google/adsense/maps/youtube. It takes a deliberate effort to avoid these guys and I'm still not completely free from it. Slightly easier but still a minefield with Microsoft and FB, especially in niche areas.
My biggest fear about a Google breakup would be what that does to the mobile market, specifically in the US, given the iPhone's popularity here.

Keep going I’m almost there
