Rep. Khanna: Google Breakup ‘Doesn’t Make Sense’

It “doesn’t make sense” to break up Google because the company is facing its most intense competition, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said Thursday. However, he told CNBC Google should drop its exclusive contract with Apple and not self-preference its own products. One of Google’s AI competitors, ChatGPT, has more than 100 million users, he said: Google is “actually having the most competition today than ever before.” DOJ on Tuesday filed a proposed remedy framework in its antitrust lawsuit against the company, and said breaking up Google should be considered (see 2410090035).
