Seven key points are in a proposed judgment to unlock Google’s monopolized markets.
As proposed:
- Google will not be allowed to pay to be the initial default search engine on any phone, device or browser.
- Google must share data and information with rival companies the proposal says it unlawfully obtained through monopolization.
- Google would divest its Chrome browser.
- Google will not be allowed to make Google Search or Google AI mandatory on Android devices.
- Google will have to give publishers an opt out in regard to data collected to help train Google’s AI models or provide Generative AI answers.
- Google will fund a public awareness campaign that informs consumers on choices for search engines.
- A five-member technical committee would implement, monitor and enforce the remedies for 10 years.
I wonder if there’s a causal relationship there 🤔
