yes, the headline is getting ahead of things without the context of the trial. It is not correct -- at least not yet -- that Google "will have to break up its business." This is a DOJ filing for the remedies trial happening this month and/or next. Also correct that Google gets to propose its own remedies. https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/public-policy/googl...

Judge Mehta has suggested he'll issue a verdict by August. Then either side can appeal. There is still a lot of legal road ahead.

Wildly speculating, I'm curious if the current Supreme Court would want to set precedent around the interpretation of antitrust law w.r.t. the consumer welfare standard, and whether there's anything in this judgement that would let them do so.
