The US Department of Justice is considering breaking up tech giant Google, according to media reports. That news comes after a court ruling earlier this month that the company, which controls 90 percent of the search engine market, violated antitrust laws. “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta wrote in his decision. But some experts think a breakup is unlikely, and Google says it will appeal. We’ll talk about what the case could mean for consumers, the company, and the future of the internet.
Guests:
Rebecca Haw Allensworth, associate dean for research and professor of law, Vanderbilt Law School
Leah Nylen, antitrust reporter, Bloomberg News
Kamyl Bazbaz, senior vice president for public affairs, DuckDuckGo
