American endeavors to force Google to sell “Chrome” amid a judicial battle that redraws the features of the technology market

In a modern legal confrontation witnessed by the court on Monday, the US Department of Justice faced Google to punish it because of its violation of monopoly laws in the United States.

The US Department of Justice seeks to impose strict measures on Google, including the sale of Chrome browser, due to accusations of violating the anti -monopoly laws..

The judge is expected to issue his final decision by the end of the summer, in a ruling that may redraw the features of the technology market and constitute a historical legal precedent against the dominance of major digital companies..

According to “Newsweek”, these developments come after a previous ruling issued by the Federal Judge Amit Mihata, in which he confirmed that Google practiced a monopoly behavior to maintain its hegemony in the search engines market, especially through billions of dollars deals with companies such as Apple and Samsung, to ensure that its search engine is virtual on smart devices.

In the opening session, the representative of the Ministry of Justice, David Dahkwist, said that the government’s goal is not to achieve a symbolic victory, but rather a strong message to all major companies that violating competition laws has real consequences.

He said: “This is the time for the court to inform Google and all other monopolists who listen that there are consequences for violating the anti -monopoly laws.”

The Ministry of Justice calls on Google to sell “Chrome”, prevent it from paying companies to prefer its search engine, and to open user data in the search results in front of competitors. I also hinted that the Android operating system may be separated from the company in the event that the measures did not succeed in breaking the monopoly.

For its part, Google defended itself strongly, describing the government’s demands as “harmful to innovation.” Anne Molland, Vice President of Organizational Affairs in Google, said that these measures will hinder the development of artificial intelligence and put the American innovation under government guardianship at a critical time.

“We are in a world race that is raised with China on the next generation of technological leadership, and Google is at the forefront of American companies that achieve scientific and technological achievements,” she added.

It is noteworthy that the “Chrome” browser is used by more than 3.45 billion people around the world, which makes any step to separate it from Google, a tremendous technology and commercial challenge, and may affect the user experience and the advertising model on which the company depends on.
