DOJ Targets Google Chrome, Poll Shows 64% Oppose Alphabet Breakup: YouTube Seen As Top Prize

Quick Summary:

What Happened: Google parent Alphabet has long been a target of potential antitrust investigations due to the company's large market share in online search.

"Google's unlawful behavior has deprived rivals not only of critical distribution channels but also distribution partners who could otherwise enable entry into these markets by competitors in new and innovative ways," the DOJ said in a statement.

A poll of Benzinga readers found that they don't believe Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) should be broken up.
