The Justice Department doubled down Friday on its demand that Google sell off its Chrome web browser, signaling that the Trump administration is continuing the Biden administration's aggressive approach to reining in technology giants.

In a court filing, the department reiterated its request that Judge Amit P. Mehta force Google to divest Chrome and end practices that allowed the search giant to maintain what the court ruled last year was an illegal monopoly in online search.
The proposal says that Google must "promptly and fully divest Chrome, along with any assets or services necessary to successfully complete the divestiture, to a buyer approved by the Plaintiffs in their sole discretion, subject to terms that the Court and Plaintiffs approve."

"Google's illegal conduct has created an economic goliath, one that wreaks havoc over the marketplace to ensure that — no matter what occurs — Google always wins," the government said in Friday's filing. "The American people thus are forced to accept the unbridled demands and shifting, ideological preferences of an economic leviathan in return for a search engine the public may enjoy."
The proposal follows Judge Mehta's landmark August 2024 ruling that Google illegally maintained its search monopoly by paying web browsers and smartphone manufacturers to feature its search engine. During the 2023 trial, evidence showed Google paid $26.3 billion for these arrangements in 2021 alone.

"Through its sheer size and unrestricted power, Google has robbed consumers and businesses of a fundamental promise owed to the public—their right to choose among competing services," the DOJ statement accompanying the filing claims.

Judge Mehta found that about 70 percent of US search queries happen through portals where Google is the default search engine, with Google's revenue-sharing agreements making it impossible for smaller search rivals to compete. During the 2023 trial, evidence showed Google paid $26.3 billion in 2021 for deals ensuring default placement on devices and browsers. Google argued users chose its search engine because it was superior to competitors like Microsoft's Bing or DuckDuckGo.
The Justice Department is urging Google to end its paid agreements with Apple, Mozilla, and smartphone manufacturers that make Google the default search engine. Additionally, it is seeking a court order that would require Google to allow competing search engines to display its results and access its data for the next decade.

DOJ makes changes to its earlier proposals to Google

In a revision from earlier proposals, the government no longer demands Google divest its artificial intelligence products, instead requiring the company to notify federal and state officials before proceeding with AI investments.
The filing was signed by Omeed A. Assefi, who is leading the antitrust division while Trump's nominee, Gail Slater, awaits Senate confirmation.

Google, which plans to appeal Judge Mehta's ruling, filed its own proposal Friday that maintained its position that minimal changes are needed. The company suggests allowing continued payments for prime placement but with less restrictive agreements that permit other search engines to compete for placement on phones and browsers.
"The government's proposals would harm America's consumers, economy and national security," Google spokesman Peter Schottenfels said in a statement.
Google's chief legal officer, Kent Walker, previously called the government's proposal a "radical interventionist agenda" that would "endanger the security and privacy of millions of Americans" and stifle innovation.

Judge Mehta is scheduled to hear arguments on the competing proposals in April, though Google has already indicated it will appeal whatever remedy is ordered, likely beginning a years-long legal process.

What is Google’s counter-offer to the US govt’s plans to break up the company?

To See All Articles About Management: Index of Management Lessons

Here’s what Google thinks it should do in order to restore competition to the online search engine market.

Months after it was found guilty of having an illegal monopoly in the online search engine market by a US district court, Google has proposed remedies to fix its own anti-competitive behaviour.

The proposed fixes are mainly directed at Google’s search distribution contracts with Android phone makers, browser companies, and wireless carriers, as per a blog post by Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google’s VP of Regulatory Affairs.

While it still plans to appeal Judge Amit Mehta’s landmark antitrust ruling declaring, “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” the company said that the “legal process requires that the parties outline what remedies would best respond to the Court’s decision.”

This comes following the US Department of Justice’s own list of demands to correct Google’s illegal antitrust practices, starting by making the company divest Chrome.

What changes is Google proposing?

As part of its proposal, smartphone manufacturers would not have to pre-load Chrome as a requisite for Google Play or other Google apps to be pre-loaded on Android devices. “This will give our partners additional flexibility and our rivals like Microsoft more chances to bid for placement,” the company said.

Coming to Apple and Mozilla, Google said that it would allow for such browser developer companies to have “multiple default agreements across different platforms (e.g., a different default search engine for iPhones and iPads) and browsing modes.”

They would also have the option to change the default search provider in their respective browsers at least every 12 months, it added.

In its ruling, the court found that Google pays Apple more in revenue share ($20 billion approx.) than what it pays all other partners combined, thus keeping the iPhone-maker on the sidelines of the search market.

“The prospect of losing tens of billions in guaranteed revenue from Google—which presently come at little to no cost to Apple—disincentivises Apple from launching its own search engine when it otherwise has built the capacity to do so,” the order read.

While the proposed remedy could free up Apple to compete against Google in the search engine market, it appears that the iPhone-maker is not willing to do so. Instead, Apple wants to participate in upcoming court hearings to defend the revenue-sharing agreement it has with Google, Reuters reported.

In response to the DOJ’s concerns that Google could ink deals ensuring that its AI model, Gemini, is pre-loaded on Android phones, the search giant has proposed, “Android partners can license Google Play, Search, and/or Chrome without also licensing Google’s Gemini Assistant mobile application.”

Notably, Google has suggested that these restrictions should last for three years, which is much shorter than the ten-year term proposed by the DOJ.

What does the DOJ want?

The US Department of Justice has urged the court to direct Google to sell off its flagship web browser Chrome.

It also suggested that the tech giant should be barred “from owning or acquiring any investment or interest in any search or search text ad rival, search distributor, or rival query-based AI product or ads technology.”

Furthermore, the DOJ proposed that Google should be banned from entering into exclusive agreements with content publishers (such as news websites), and from acquiring its competitors or potential competitors in the general search domain without prior approval.

The legal filing also dangled the possibility of Google divesting from Android to prevent it from using the mobile operating system to box out rival search providers.

Other remedies proposed by the DOJ include banning the company from preferencing its search engine on other Google-owned platforms such as YouTube and Gemini, giving rivals access to valuable search data such as ranking signals, US-originated query data, and its search index at a “marginal cost, and on an ongoing basis”, and letting users opt out of its AI Overviews feature.

What is next in the antitrust battle?

If the court accepts the DOJ’s proposal, Google could face a major restructuring that would drastically impact its revenue model. On the other hand, if the court accepts the remedies proposed by Google, the company’s core business would be intact, but it would mark the end of its long-standing, multibillion-dollar deal with Apple.

A two-week trial over the remedies proposed by both parties is scheduled to begin from April 2025.

Greatest bubble in human history about to burst? USA's $34 trillion debt may lead to a recession in near future... says Mark Spitznagel

To See All Articles About Management: Index of Management Lessons

Synopsis

Mark Spitznagel, who is a bearish investor, has now predicted that stock prices may soon lose nearly half their value in an upcoming sell-off, that could end up putting the stock market in a major crisis. Moreover, he is also of the opinion that a recession could become a reality by the end of the year.
    


A US recession could happen by the end of the year, if the government's $34 trillion debt triggers it. Universa Investments has reportedly made billions from past stock market crisis, and this hedge fund is led by Spitznagel himself, which is the clear indicator that he is quite understanding about the future situation of the stock market. If stocks lose half their value as being predicted, the US stock market may see a record crash in coming days.

Is the US economy in danger?

Spitznagel is of the opinion that the bubble and the impact of its burst, would make it even tough for the US economy to witness a turnaround, as the $34 trillion debt may make it even more difficult for the Federal Reserve to turn the economy around within due time. Therefore, there are peak chances of a major recession by the end of the year in case this situation persists.

Stock market situation like a 'time bomb' now

Spitznagel has termed the situation of the stock market to be a ticking time-bomb, and the US markets could be heading to something really bad ahead. However, it must be noted that the market mogul has been raising alarms about a stock market crash since 2023, but it has not happened as of yet but things could become a reality in the future.

FAQs

Is Mark Spitznagel expecting a US stock market crash?

Veteran market analyst Mark Spitznagel is anticipating global stock market crash in coming times, based on the record peaks they have attained over the past two years.

Is the US economy under recession?

The US economy is currently not under recession but there are possibilities that it may arrive by 2025, according to market analysts.

Rich Dad Poor Dad - Book Summary in Hindi via Video

To See a Detailed Summary: Rich dad poor dad
To see other financial literacy books: Books on Building Financial IQ (Sep 2024)

Now a super short summary:
    
LESSON 1: THE RICH DON'T WORK FOR MONEY
The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.

LESSON 2: WHY TEACH FINANCIAL LITERACY? 
It's not how much money you make. It's how much money you keep.

Rich people acquire assets. The poor and middle class acquire liabilities that they think are assets.

Difference in perception between my rich dad and my poor dad when it came to their homes: 
Rich dad thinks his house is a liability. While the poor dad thinks the house is an asset.

LESSON 3: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
The rich focus on their asset columns while everyone else focuses on their income statements.

LESSON 4: THE HISTORY OF TAXES AND THE POWER OF CORPORATIONS
My rich dad just played the game smart, and he did it through corporations- the biggest secret of the rich.

LESSON 5: THE RICH INVENT MONEY
Often in the real world, it's not the smart who get ahead, but the bold. 

LESSON 6: WORK TO LEARN­ - DON'T WORK FOR MONEY
Job security meant everything to my educated dad. Learning meant everything to my rich dad.

The main management skills needed for success are: 

1. Management of cash flow 
2. Management of systems 
3. Management of people

Chapter Seven: OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
The primary difference between a rich person and a poor person is how they manage fear.

Once people have studied and become financially literate, they may still face roadblocks to becoming financially independent. There are five main reasons why financially literate people may still not develop abundant asset columns that could produce a large cash flow. The five reasons are: 

1. Fear 
2. Cynicism 
3. Laziness 
4. Bad habits 
5. Arrogance

For most people, the reason they don't win financially is because the pain of losing money is far greater than the joy of being rich.

Failure inspires winners. Failure defeats losers.

Rich dad believed that the words "I can't afford it" shut down your brain. "How can I afford it?" opens up possibilities, excitement, and dreams.

...

Chapter Eight GETTING STARTED
There is gold everywhere. Most people are not trained to see it.

The three most important management skills necessary to start your own business are management of: 

1. Cash flow 
2. People 
3. Personal time

Mapping the AI Finance Services Roadmap: Enhancing the Financial Landscape

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed the financial services industry, revolutionizing how we manage money, make investments, and access personalized financial advice. From robo-advisors to AI-driven risk management, the potential for AI in finance services is boundless. In this article, we'll navigate the AI Finance Services Roadmap, exploring the key milestones and opportunities that are reshaping the financial landscape and empowering consumers and businesses alike.

The Development of AI in the Financial Industry

Step 1: Personalized Financial Planning with Robo-Advisors

Robo-advisors have emerged as a revolutionary AI-powered tool that democratizes access to sophisticated financial planning. These platforms use AI algorithms to analyze an individual's financial situation, risk tolerance, and goals, enabling the creation of personalized investment portfolios. With lower fees and greater convenience, robo-advisors are transforming how we plan for our financial future.

Step 2: AI-Driven Credit Scoring and Lending

AI has revolutionized the lending process by introducing more efficient and accurate credit scoring models. By analyzing vast amounts of data, including transaction history, social media behavior, and online presence, AI algorithms can assess creditworthiness more effectively. This has opened up new avenues for individuals and businesses to access loans and credit facilities.

Step 3: Fraud Detection and Cybersecurity

The financial services industry faces persistent threats from cybercriminals. AI-based fraud detection systems can analyze vast data streams in real time, detecting suspicious activities and protecting against potential threats. By bolstering cybersecurity measures with AI, financial institutions can safeguard sensitive customer information and maintain trust in their services.

Step 4: AI-Powered Virtual Assistants

AI virtual assistants are reshaping customer interactions in the finance sector. These intelligent chatbots provide personalized support, answer inquiries, and perform routine tasks, enhancing the overall customer experience. By automating these processes, financial institutions can improve efficiency and focus on delivering high-value services to their clients.

Step 5: AI for Compliance and Regulatory Reporting

Compliance and regulatory reporting are critical aspects of the financial services industry. AI technologies can streamline these processes, ensuring adherence to complex regulations and reporting requirements. AI-driven solutions can identify potential compliance issues and proactively address them, reducing the risk of costly penalties and reputational damage.

Step 6: AI-Enhanced Risk Management

AI-powered risk management solutions provide more accurate and real-time risk assessment. These tools analyze historical data and market trends, enabling financial institutions to identify potential risks and make data-driven decisions. Enhanced risk management fosters stability and resilience, even in volatile market conditions.

Conclusion

The AI Finance Services Roadmap is shaping a future where financial services are more accessible, personalized, and secure than ever before. From robo-advisors offering tailored investment strategies to AI-driven fraud detection systems protecting against cyber threats, the transformative power of AI is revolutionizing the financial landscape.
