Big Tech’s Day of Reckoning: Google Must Be Split


GOVERNMENT MOVES TO CRUSH AMERICAN GIANT

Washington D.C. – In a stunning turn of events, the US government has officially begun the process of dismantling the monolithic tech giant, Google, citing illegal monopolization of the online search market. This bold move marks the first attempt to break up a company in the country since the failed efforts to split up Microsoft two decades ago.

According to sources, the government is considering three possible remedies: forcing Google to share its data with competitors, banning exclusive contracts, and divesting its Android operating system and Chrome browser.

GOOGLE’S RISE TO POWER

The move comes on the heels of a landmark court ruling that found Google guilty of dominating the online search market, using its Android operating system to force device manufacturers to install its apps and browser, and unfairly favoring its own search results. The company’s search dominance has also given it an unfair advantage in developing AI technology.

GOVERNMENT SEEKING TO RESTORE COMPETITION

The government’s goal is to restore competition to the online search market, which has been heavily influenced by Google’s dominance. In a bid to level the playing field, officials are seeking to require Google to share its data with competitors, making it easier for them to improve their search results and compete with the tech giant.

DIVESTMENT OF ANDROID AND CHROME

One of the most significant consequences of the government’s move would be the divestment of Google’s Android operating system and Chrome browser. This would effectively cripple the company’s ability to exert its influence over the online search market and potentially allow other companies to compete with its search results.

FUTURE OF AI AND COMPETITION

The government’s actions may also have far-reaching implications for the development of AI technology. By requiring Google to share its data with competitors, the company would no longer have an unfair advantage in developing AI-powered search results.
