È ufficiale, il Ministero della Giustizia USA sta considerando lo smembramento di Google:
DOJ indicates it’s considering Google breakup following monopoly ruling
The Department of Justice late Tuesday indicated that it was considering a possible breakup of Google as an antitrust remedy.
The DOJ said it was “considering behavioral and structural remedies that would prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to advantage Google search.”
The judge has yet to decide on the remedies, and Google will likely appeal, drawing out the process potentially for years.

Questa la risposta ufficiale di Google:
DOJ’s radical and sweeping proposals risk hurting consumers, businesses, and developers
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) today shared a broad outline of radical changes it may demand as part of its lawsuit over how we distribute Search. This is the start of a long process and we will respond in detail to the DOJ's ultimate proposals as we make our case in court next year. However, we are concerned the DOJ is already signaling requests that go far beyond the specific legal issues in this case.
This case is about a set of search distribution contracts. Rather than focus on that, the government seems to be pursuing a sweeping agenda that will impact numerous industries and products, with significant unintended consequences for consumers, businesses, and American competitiveness. The DOJ’s outline also comes at a time when competition in how people find information is blooming, with all sorts of new entrants emerging and new technologies like AI transforming the industry.

Detto tra noi, la risposta di Google è decisamente piccata segno che le decisioni del DOJ sono tutto tranne che blande (come alcuni credevano / temevano).
Sicuramente faranno appello, quindi la storia non è ufficialmente finita... ma è comunque una pietra miliare nella questione e forse la prima volta che Google si prende una mazzata davvero grossa.
