With new services like ChatGPT (and foreign competitors like DeepSeek) thriving, DOJ\u2019s sweeping remedy proposals are both unnecessary and harmful.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"c6fft\">We have long said that we disagree with the Court\u2019s decision in the case and will appeal. But first the Court must decide what remedies best address its liability decision. At trial we will show how DOJ\u2019s unprecedented proposals go miles beyond the Court\u2019s decision, and would hurt America\u2019s consumers, economy, and technological leadership:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-block-key=\"dgth7\">DOJ\u2019s proposal would make it harder for you to get to services you prefer. People use Google because they want to, not because they have to. DOJ&#8217;s proposal would force browsers and phones to default to search services like Microsoft\u2019s Bing, making it harder for you to access Google.<\/li>\n<li data-block-key=\"e8it7\">DOJ\u2019s proposal to prevent us from competing for the right to distribute Search would raise prices and slow innovation. Device makers and web browsers (like Mozilla\u2019s Firefox) rely on the revenue they receive from search distribution. Removing that revenue would raise the cost of mobile phones and handicap the web browsers that you use every day.<\/li>\n<li data-block-key=\"qang\">DOJ\u2019s proposal would force Google to share your most sensitive and private search queries with companies you may never have heard of, jeopardizing your privacy and security. Your private information would be exposed, without your permission, to companies that lack Google\u2019s world-class security protections, where it could be exploited by bad actors.<\/li>\n<li data-block-key=\"efof8\">DOJ\u2019s proposal would also hamstring how we develop AI, and have a government-appointed committee regulate the design and development of our products. That would hold back American innovation at a critical juncture. We\u2019re in a fiercely competitive global race with China for the next generation of technology leadership, and Google is at the forefront of American companies making scientific and technological breakthroughs.<\/li>\n<li data-block-key=\"5m0ht\">DOJ\u2019s proposal to split off Chrome and Android \u2014 which we built from scratch and make available for free \u2014 would break those platforms, hurt businesses built on them, and undermine security. Google keeps more people safe online than any other company in the world. Breaking off Chrome and Android from our technical, security, and operational infrastructure would not just introduce cybersecurity and even national security risks, but also increase the cost of your devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-block-key=\"6rl6h\">There is a better path forward \u2014 one that responds to the Court\u2019s decision without harming consumers, or America\u2019s economy, tech leadership, and national security. Our proposed remedies would achieve these goals by focusing on what this case is about \u2014 the contestability of search distribution contracts. You can read about our proposal in this post.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"bfksb\">When it comes to antitrust remedies, the U.S. Supreme Court has said that \u201ccaution is key.\u201d DOJ&#8217;s proposal throws that caution to the wind.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"6gjq3\">We look forward to making our case in court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/outreach-initiatives\/public-policy\/doj-search-remedies-apr-2025\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Department of Justice\u2019s 2020 search distribution lawsuit is a backwards-looking case at a time of intense competition and unprecedented innovation.
