Google files its proposed remedies in DOJ’s monopoly case ...Middle East

NY Times News - News

Google was required to file its proposed remedies over the antitrust lawsuit with the Department of Justice. Google was clear in its blog post that it disagrees with the DOJ but it has to legally file these, “the legal process requires that the parties outline what remedies would best respond to the Court’s decision, ahead of a hearing on remedies in April 2025,” Google wrote.

Google’s proposed remedies. Google proposed remedies across browser agreements, Android contracts and more, they include:

Browser agreements: Offer more “flexibility” in those default browser agreements by allowing these companies to have multiple default agreements across platforms. Google wrote, “It would allow for multiple default agreements across different platforms (e.g., a different default search engine for iPhones and iPads) and browsing modes, plus the ability to change their default search provider at least every 12 months (the court’s decision specifically referred to a 12 month agreement as “presumed reasonable” under antitrust law).” Android contracts. Google also suggested it will make its Android agreements with OEMs non-exclusive and allow them to unbundle the Google Play Store from Google Search and Chrome. Google wrote, “Our proposal means device makers have additional flexibility in preloading multiple search engines, and preloading any Google app independently of preloading Search or Chrome. Again, this will give our partners additional flexibility and our rivals like Microsoft more chances to bid for placement.” Gemini. Part of the above, Google won’t require device makers or other partners to distribute Gemini to US users for three years.
