Regulators have submitted their Google punishment wishlist to the judge, and it rivals many a kid’s Christmas list.

The Justice Department wants:

• Chrome sold off
• no playing favorites on Android (& maybe sold)
• can’t buy default status
• no favoring Google services in other Google services
• license search index data to others
• ad cost transparency
• blah blah AI training access blah

No. 3 is the most obvious one on the list. The others range from 🤷 to 😮

Not sure this is the obvious outcome:

A sale of Chrome “will permanently stop Google’s control of this critical search access point and allow rival search engines the ability to access the browser that for many users is a gateway to the internet”

How much better does Google Search get if $20B a year gets reinvested instead of paid to Apple?
