If they’re allowed to choose who they sell it to this won’t change anything
Sell it to Mozilla so they can make it uninstall itself and install Firefox instead in the next update
I think they should sell it to me.
4 $ Final Offer
Too much for me, I’m out 🏳️
They should force it to become a worker cooperative. It’s the only solution that doesn’t allow for corruption
Nationalize?
Yep, nationalize everything that’s essential or at least offer a nationalized alternative and let the private sector try to compete.
brOURser comrade.
ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
This is the last antitrust win we’ll get for years, isn’t it?
I know Trump doesn’t like Big Tech, but I doubt his admin will punish them meaningfully, but just rail about censorship.
This isn’t a win I think. They are yet to meet in the court with Google.
The DOJ will file a revised version of its proposals in early March, before the government and Google return to the DC District Court in April for a two-week remedies trial.
Alphabet’s Chief Legal Officer Kent Walker, says the DOJ is pushing “a radical interventionist agenda that would harm Americans and America’s global technology leadership.”
I’m honestly curious how this would “harm Americans”.
Alphabet’s Chief Legal Officer sounds like Donald Trump
I fear this is exactly who they’re courting.
That statement is technically true.
The billionaire owners are Americans.
Everyone really does need to have that at the forefront of their mind. When the C-suit, wall street, and politicians talk about “Americans” they aren’t talking about us schlubs.
The corporations are people too!
Google pretending they have any other nationality other then “the global internet” is cute in a disgusting way.
What the what?
“sell your browser, that’ll limit your search monopoly”
. . . HAH?
It has 67% market share, and the default search is Google.
Big doubt anything actually happens.
Admittedly, I don’t know enough about monopolies and antitrust laws to know how much this matters. Can someone ELI5 this and give us more info?
Just…please for the love of whatever dirty do Microsoft. Fucking sick of their shit recently with One Drive.
The Reuters article suggests prohibiting payments to Apple so that Chrome users on their hardware default to Google search. What about default settings to Firefox? Similar agreements finance a large portion of Mozilla’s revenue.
What does Chrome have to do with search? 🤔
What search engine does Chrome, by far and away the most used browser be it on phone or PC, use?
Google is the default search engine for chrome, and chrome is the single most popular browser at about 95% market share.
Is the DOJ the only working system in the US now?
Obviously not. Trump is still free.
FTC works. For now.
Step 1: Buy Chome
Step 2: End development
Step 3: ???
Step 4:
Profit?Non-Profit Firefox?Sounds like they are preparing for this by killing off ChromeOS

>sell Chrome to open search monopoly
>Chrome isn’t a search engine but a web browser
Yeah, Google pays other companies lots of money to have its search engine enabled by default. That’s what the lawsuit argued, so I’m not sure how separating chrome from the company will change that…
