Here’s how the DOJ & friends want Google to break up its search monopoly:

  • No more paying for default status (this was the obvious ask)
  • Get rid of Chrome
  • Open source the data—queries, coverage, performance, etc

If it’s still a monopoly in 5 years, Android could be on the chopping block.

The advertising remedies are kind of weird…

  • Provide more information to advertisers in search query reports
  • Let advertisers opt out of broad and automated keyword matching.

On the first one, sure, whatever.
But on the second, feels like advertisers refusing to change and wanting their old toys back.
