Google has appealed to the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump to reconsider plans to split the company's search business. Google management claims that such measures could negatively affect innovation and competitiveness in the tech industry.
In recent months, the Trump administration has increased pressure on large tech companies, accusing them of monopolizing the market and stifling competition. In particular, measures to split Google's business are being considered, which, according to the company, could lead to a decrease in service quality for users and a slowdown in technological progress.
Google emphasizes that their search system provides users with access to diverse and high-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 is cooperating 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.
Currently, the Trump administration has not given an official response to Google's appeal. It is expected that discussions on this issue will continue in the coming weeks and will take into account the opinions of both tech industry representatives and government bodies responsible for antitrust regulation.
Experts note that the outcome of this confrontation could significantly impact the future regulation of tech giants and determine the direction of industry development in the coming years.
