# The US Department of Justice is considering breaking up Google as a remedy in the antitrust case

The U.S. Department of Justice has informed a federal judge that it is considering recommending forcing Google to sell part of its business to alleviate the harm caused by the monopoly in the online search market. If eventually implemented, this would be a historic antitrust breakup.

Antitrust enforcers said in court documents on Tuesday that Judge Amit Mehta could also compel Google to provide access to its foundational data used to build search results and artificial intelligence products.

The Department of Justice stated in the documents that it is "considering taking action and structural remedies to prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to bolster Google Search and products and features related to Google Search, including emerging search access points and features such as artificial intelligence, to gain an advantage over competitors or new entrants."
