The U.S. government has filed a request for the breakup of Google, demanding the tech giant divest its Chrome browser amid antitrust concerns. This marks a significant shift in approach towards regulating technology companies, reminiscent of past attempts to dismantle Microsoft. The intentions of the incoming Trump administration regarding this matter remain unclear, creating uncertainty about the future of tech regulation. Judges are set to review Google’s case, but any significant changes could take years, especially as Google plans to appeal the decision.
