The Department of Justice (DOJ) is pushing for significant changes to Google (GOOG, GOOGL), including a divestment of its Chrome browser, following an August court ruling that found the company had illegally monopolized the search market.
Yahoo Finance’s Senior Legal Reporter Alexis Keenan joins Morning Brief Co-hosts Brad Smith and Seana Smith to discuss what this means for Google and its parent company, Alphabet.
Keenan notes that while Google has opposed the DOJ’s proposals, calling them a “radical agenda” that could harm consumers and the tech industry, the case becomes more complicated with the upcoming administration change.
