The Justice Department is reportedly considering breaking up Google's businesses to address its monopoly over online searches, with divestment of business units an option.
The Justice Department is weighing options that could include breaking up Google after a federal judge held that the tech giant and its parent company Alphabet maintained an illegal monopoly over the online search market, according to a report.
Google has said it plans to appeal the monopoly ruling by Judge Amit Mehta, although the judge has told the company and the DOJ to prepare for the next stage of the legal process which will involve the DOJ putting forward its proposals to address Google's monopoly.
