Google's lawyers have met with representatives from the US Department of Justice in an attempt to avoid a breakup amid antitrust scrutiny.
Google argues that forcing the company to spin off parts of the business and limit investments would pose a national security threat.
The US Department of Justice sought stiff penalties in the previous antitrust case, including the sale of Google's Chrome browser and an end to search engine placement payments.
Google believes that requiring the spin-off of Chrome and restricting AI investments could harm both US national security and user-level security.
