If Android is split away from Google it will die

Google I/O 2015.

As part of the antitrust action against Google, the Department of Justice has proposed a remedy that would split Android and Chrome away from Google. This is because Google was found to be abusing monopoly powers during the trial in August 2024.

I agree that Google abuses its power, and severe penalties should be imposed on the company. Google is not your friend or a "nice guy;" it's simply another tech company that happens to control the software that powers seven of every 10 phones in the world. It needs to be kept under control. Then again, my opinion matters the same as yours: none. The DoJ and a judge are in control of this one.
