Google has gotten its first taste of remedies that Donald Trump’s Department of Justice plans to pursue to break up the tech giant’s monopoly in search.

~~Wasn't this all started before Trump was even elected?~~ It actually began October 2020, then in 2023 another case was brought up. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump administration gave Google a break here after some poorly disguised bribes. It's too soon to be claiming they'll do anything. Weird phrasing, considering what's happening.

I think it was actually started during Trump’s first term. Biden just escalated it.

Or just decide he thinks the opposite of what he thought yesterday, as with TikTok.
