The US court has recently given a big blow to Google. The court has accused Google of monopoly and has given strict instructions in the matter of violation of antitrust. The court says that Google has maintained the dominance of its products and services, which can harm competition in the market. The court has also termed the dominance of Google Chrome as the default search engine and web browser as wrong.
Instructions for separating Android and Chrome
The court has directed Google to separate its Android operating system and Chrome browser. It has also been recommended to separate Google Play Store from the rest of the business. Currently, Chrome browser is linked with Google's Android system, and along with this, other Google products like Gmail, Drive, and YouTube are also linked with each other.
Questions also raised on Google's business contracts
The court has also raised questions on Google's search distribution practice, revenue sharing, data and many advertising related activities. The court believes that Google's revenue sharing with Apple as the default search engine in iPhone is a violation of the rules. This makes it difficult for other companies to make their place in the market. The court has advised Google not to misuse its influence and has asked to stop all such contracts in which Chrome and Android are given priority in search.
Instructions for sharing information related to data and AI
The court has directed Google to share the data related to its search results, advertisements and ranking algorithms. Along with this, it has also been asked to share the information about the services being used for testing AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Google's response
Google has opposed the decision to separate Android and Chrome. The company says that doing so can harm customers and also increase costs. Google also said that it does not agree with separating Android and its search engine business, because it will have an adverse effect on its services. These court instructions on Google will affect its business model, and it will be interesting to see what steps will be taken next.
