Google has appealed to the administration of US President Donald Trump with a request to reconsider plans to split the company's search business. Google management claims that such measures could negatively affect innovation and competitiveness in the technology industry.
In recent months, the Trump administration has increased pressure on large technology companies, accusing them of monopolizing the market and suppressing competition. In particular, measures to split Google’s business are being considered, which, according to the company, could lead to a decrease in the quality of services for users and a slowdown in technological progress.
Google emphasizes that its search engine provides users with access to diverse and quality information, and splitting the business could limit the company's ability to improve its services and introduce innovations.
The company also notes that it cooperates with regulators and is ready to discuss possible changes in its activities, but believes that radical measures such as splitting the business are not the optimal solution for ensuring healthy competition in the market.
At the moment, the Trump administration has not given an official response to Google’s appeal. It is expected that the discussion of this issue will continue in the coming weeks, taking into account the opinions of both representatives of the technology industry and government bodies responsible for antitrust regulation.
Experts note that the outcome of this confrontation could significantly influence the future regulation of technology giants and determine the direction of industry development in the coming years.
