History’s biggest break-up: US federal prosecutors say Google must sell Chrome • FRANCE 24 English
In the antitrust trial of the century, the US Justice Department has filed for tech giant Alphabet to separate from its Chrome browser, which is used by around 3.5 billion people globally. It’s also asked the District of Colombia judge to rule that if Google continues with monopolistic misconduct, it could also lose its Android mobile phone operating system as well. In this business bulletin we take a closer look at the story, as well as Nvidia’s earnings call, Australia’s social media ban and French President Emmanuel Macron’s defence of cognac.

This is terrible. They want to destroy Google.
Why shouldn't the US tariff foreign goods when almost EVERY American product is given the same tax overseas? Trump clearly said the last time he was in power that the tariffs were "reciprocal": if you put duties on our cars, we'll do the same to yours, and so on. All he's doing is leveling the playing field in trade.
Lol no
I think it’s crazy they can do that
WELL DONE .. MONOPOLY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED …. its a crime …
2nd piece of good news today.
Justice in USA is much better than in South Korea. If this is the case in South Korea, no such judge rule exist. Samsung, LG, SK, Hyundai, Kolon, Naver, Kakao, so many more are dominating (illegally) and bullying small and medium sized companies in South Korea.
That's cold blooded
I guess we will have to wait for another democrat(ic) administration for another break up.
Chrome isn't a big deal. Google store is. especially considering Chromium is FOSS.
I suspect they are just want to cut lizard's tail.
How about microsoft, break it up
So Google has nany companies, can it just sell to itself? Im sure that will happen.
This makes no sense. Nobody buys a browser, so how is a browser going to make money?
Why do Google need to sell Chrome? You have many options to choose the browsers. I personally use Firefox and Brave. US is more and more ridiculous everyday. Don't try to touch the thing most people use. You guys don't have the abilities to maintain Google products. There is no way I would believe other unknown companies than Google.
Sell an open source project? Only in Washington
U cant force people to sell or buy. I've tried.
Google having to sell Android would be hilarious 😂 I bet Samsung would buy it
I would have rather seen this happen to Microsoft.
Now it's time they split up the mediocre control monolith Microsoft again
gov should take over googie in all corresponding region.
