A week after a judge ruled that Alphabet’s Google illegally monopolized the online search market, the US Department of Justice is considering options that include breaking up the tech giant, worth some $2tn, according to reports from the New York Times and Bloomberg News.

Divesting the Android operating system was one of the remedies most frequently discussed by justice department attorneys, the reports said.

Officials were also considering trying to force a possible sale of AdWords, Google’s search ad program, and a possible divestment of its Chrome web browser, according to the reports.

That's an insult to Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are/were fucking awesome, innocent and majestic animals that were wiped out way too soon.

The U.S. government is one of the most evil organizations in all of human history, on par with the Nazis, ISIS, the Order of Nine Angels, Falun Gong, Shen Yun, the Republican party, the Tories, and Turning Point U.S.A.
