The Justice Department is looking into dismantling Google following a judge’s ruling last week that Google had an illegal monopoly on the online search market.
The Department of Justice is considering breaking up Google after a court ruling determined that the tech company cornered the online search market. A judge ruled on Aug. 5 that Google illegally monopolized the market for online search and search text ads. The California-based tech giant plans to appeal the decision, but the judge ordered Google and the DOJ to start plans for the second part of the case, involving the agency’s request to break up Google , per Bloomberg.
