Deep dives
Regulatory Scrutiny of Google
The current legal landscape surrounding Google includes significant scrutiny from the Department of Justice (DOJ), which is pursuing three major lawsuits against the tech giant. One key focus is on Google's ad tech business, where the DOJ is investigating potential monopolistic practices due to Google's control over various components of the ad tech stack. Remedies being discussed could include a forced breakup of certain segments, such as Chrome or the Play Store, although analysts suggest that practically isolating these elements may be unfeasible due to their shared infrastructure. The lawsuits highlight the complexities of regulating such a multifaceted entity and underscore the ongoing debates regarding antitrust interventions in the tech sector.
