US considering breakup of Google: Reports

New York: A bid to break up Alphabet Inc.’s Google is being considered by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) after a landmark court ruling found that the company has monopolised the online search market, US media cited sources familiar with the deliberations as saying.

“The move would be Washington’s first push to dismantle a company for illegal monopolization since unsuccessful efforts to break up Microsoft Corp. two decades ago,” said Bloomberg on Tuesday.
