Google split still on the table, says new EU antitrust chief

EU competition chief Teresa Ribera confirmed that splitting Google's business remains a possibility, with divestments under consideration to curb Big Tech's power. Building on Margrethe Vestager’s legacy, Ribera aims to collaborate with US authorities on potential breakups, including Google's adtech and Chrome divisions. She also seeks a cooperative relationship with President-elect Trump despite potential tensions over EU actions on US tech firms.
