Google vs. DOJ Antitrust Lawsuit Explained: Will Android Survive This?
488The Google antitrust lawsuit alleges the tech giant used anti-competitive practices to maintain a monopoly in search, with the DOJ proposing breaking up Google, forcing data sharing with competitors like Bing, and banning exclusivity agreements to foster a more competitive market. Google claims these actions would stifle innovation, raise costs for consumers, and weaken Android's competitiveness against Apple, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal battle with potential implications for the future of the internet.
