A rare bid to break up Alphabet Inc.’s Google is one of the options being considered by the Justice Department after a landmark court ruling found that the company monopolized the online search market, according to people with knowledge of the deliberations.

    I’ll believe it when I see it but it was nice to have a court case actually convicting them.

    Edit:

    the most likely units for divestment are the Android operating system and Google’s web browser Chrome, said the people. Officials are also looking at trying to force a possible sale of AdWords, the platform the company uses to sell text advertising, one of the people said.

    That would be so nice, there was already a huge thread about how much Google screws over Android too.
