EU considers breaking up Google's ad-tech business over antitrust concerns.

TL;DR Summary
The European Commission has issued a formal antitrust complaint against Google, alleging that the company has abused its dominant position in the digital advertising market. The regulator has suggested that forcing Google to sell off parts of its business may be the only remedy if the company is found guilty of the charges. This would be a significant move targeting the main source of the search giant’s revenue, and a rare example of the EU recommending divestiture at this stage in an investigation.
