Commentary: Protect Privacy and Keep America First in Tech
Update: 2025-10-23
Description
The remedies order in the Google search case landed with two clear takeaways. The court declined to split off Chrome and Android, avoiding a result that would have driven up costs and slowed security updates. At the same time, the ruling would add limits on how Google operates and compels sharing portions of search data with rivals. While the rejection of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) desired breakup of those units avoids harm to products that serve the welfare of consumers, data sharing mandates are still cause for concern.
