Why the US wants to force Google to sell Chrome
- The US Department of Justice has suggested that Google should sell its Chrome browser as part of a wide-ranging remedy to end monopolies in the search service sector. However, the sale of Chrome would pose a seismic challenge to the profitable advertising business of Google, hence being a worst-case scenario for the tech giant.
- Moreover, selling Android, the most popular smartphone operating system, that is a means of data used to sell ads, could pose an enormous hit to Google’s business. Further, if Google agrees to keep its search engine as the default in the Safari browser, the company may be compelled to end its at-least-$20bn deal with Apple.
- Defaults are powerful and without Chrome, Google would likely lose the extremely valuable youth market that uses the company's Chromebooks which run on Chrome OS. It is a low-cost item for schools that distribute laptops to students, and children introduced to one company’s products become accustomed to using them.
- The chief legal officer of Google, Kent Walker, criticised the justice department’s proposals as “staggering”, “extreme”, and “unprecedented government overreach” and argued that it would hurt US leadership in the tech industry.
- Elon Musk and failed presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, have been formally appointed as the heads of a new nongovernmental government agency - Doge - that advises Trump on pare down bureaucracy, promising a cutback in federal regulations and layoffs of federal employees. However, such an action would ax healthcare for all US military veterans whose authorization for the Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Act expired in 1998.
- In terms of privacy protection, encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Apple iMessage, and WhatsApp can be used and people can minimize how much data other apps and services are collecting about them.
- Further, reviewing and turning off the location settings on iPhones and Android smartphones can protect users from law enforcement that actively asks tech companies for location information or buying it.
