Google to sell Chrome AND be banned from re-entering the browser market for five years, recommends US Department of Justice

Mozilla has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now

the onion has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now

I want to reblog the joke but omg, read that article!

The DOJ wants the judge to:

* (the headline) Sell Chrome and completely separate from the search engine, don’t come back for 5 years

* stop buying potential rival search engines- including ads-related AI products

* sell off any it already invests in

* stop making anticompetitive agreements with OS makers (Apple) to make google the default search engine

* GIVE DATA CRAWLING RIGHTS DIRECTLY TO CONTENT CREATORS (meaning you would have to opt-in to let its AI learn from your content)

Google has to make counter proposals but the DOJ has two recommendations for Android that amount to the legal equivalent of “we’re just getting started and we dare you to fuck around and find out.”

So to be clear, the Onion, moz://a, BlackBerry, AND John Oliver could team up for the funniest thing right now.
