Google meets US regulators to address antitrust breakup plan

Google representatives recently met with US regulators, urging them to reconsider antitrust measures that could lead to the company’s breakup.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reviewing Google’s dominance in search and advertising, with potential remedies including the divestment of business units like Chrome and a review of its search engine agreements.

A Google spokesperson expressed concerns that the current proposals could negatively impact the US economy and national security.

The trial to determine potential remedies in the search case will begin in April, with a final ruling expected by August.
