Google remedy hearing on search monopoly begins today. Could the tech giant be broken up?
CBSN
A hearing kicked off today in Washington, D.C., that could determine whether Google remains in its current form, or if it could face penalties such as selling off its popular Chrome web browser.
The so-called remedy hearing is the consequence of a court ruling last August that found Google is operating a monopoly and uses its dominant market position to crush rivals and put a lid on innovation.
The U.S. Department of Justice is arguing that Google should be forced to divest its Chrome browser, which the agency describes as "one of the largest entry points that exists for searches." By selling Chrome, rivals could have a chance to compete for search queries, the government argues, but such a change would drastically reshape Google's parent, Alphabet, a tech giant with a $1.8 trillion market valuation.
