This is exactly what will happen. Same thing with Albertsons and Kroger too.
Just...please for the love of whatever dirty do Microsoft. Fucking sick of their shit recently with One Drive.
There's literally so much else they should do, google docs, sheets, drive, phones, maps, earth, calendar, play store, translate, etc.
Good work, continue please.
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".
That statement is technically true.
The billionaire owners are Americans.
The corporations are people too!
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.
Google pretending they have any other nationality other then “the global internet” is cute in a disgusting way.
What does Chrome have to do with search? 🤔
>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...
If they're allowed to choose who they sell it to this won't change anything
I think they should sell it to me.
4 $ Final Offer
Too much for me, I'm out 🏳️
Step 1: Buy Chome
Step 2: End development
Step 3: ???
Step 4: ~~Profit?~~ Non-Profit Firefox?
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.
What the what?
"sell your browser, that'll limit your search monopoly"
. . . HAH?
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?
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.
Sounds like they are preparing for this by killing off ChromeOS

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
Is the DOJ the only working system in the US now?
Obviously not. Trump is still free.
