## `Google is officially an illegal monopoly`

**2024, Monday, August 5th**

[`justive.gov`](https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-statements-us-district-court-district-columbias-decision-us-v-google)

On 2024, Monday, Augusy 5th, the United States Department of Justice declared Google to be an illegal monopoly, citing the reason of bribing competitors (such as Apple) to set Google as the default search engine to stifle competition. Some in the tech community have known Google to be a monopoly long before this decision, and unfortunately, this isn't the only monopolistic thing Google is doing. This antitrust lawsuit is a breakthrough moment. At the moment, Google plans to try and repeal it. This project will continue to function nonetheless.

Old document from 2023, Wednesday, April 26th I have of breaking up Google into smaller companies. This likely won't happen, and is incomplete and outdated, but I felt this was the best time to release it.
