Forced breakup of Google: eliminating the threat of a decline in the US technology sector

On October 9, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the possibility of a forced split of the American tech giant Google. This forced division will be the first in the last 40 years after the division of the American telecommunications company AT&T.

This decision is a strategic step by Washington to prevent a possible crisis in the technology industry. The United States cannot ignore that the market power of technology giants such as Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Microsoft can undermine the country’s competitiveness in key innovative sectors.

As these companies control a significant portion of the digital and artificial intelligence market, new players are denied equal access to infrastructure and resources for AI development.
