📰 News: Sundar Pichai Warns US Government’s Antitrust Move Could Kill Google Search

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has expressed concerns that the U.S. government’s antitrust push to break up Google could potentially lead to the end of Google Search as we know it. As the ongoing antitrust case progresses into the remedies phase, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed drastic measures, including breaking up Google, selling off the Chrome browser, and requiring Google to share its search results and data with competitors.

In a court appearance on Wednesday, Pichai argued that such actions would severely harm the company’s ability to innovate and invest in research and development. According to Pichai, if Google is forced to share critical data with its rivals, it would not be able to continue developing and improving its products like the Chrome browser and search technology.

Pichai emphasized that Google’s success in providing high-quality search results and innovation is driven by its ability to maintain control over its services and data. He warned that breaking up the company or sharing its core data with competitors could undermine its competitive edge in the search engine market.
