Sundar Pichai says DOJ demands are a “de facto” spin-off of Google search

  • Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai testified on April 30, 2025, in federal court in Washington to defend Google against DOJ demands to share search data and spin off assets.
  • The DOJ argues that Google maintains a monopoly on search and seeks remedies including sharing its search index, ending default search deals, and divesting Chrome to increase competition.
  • Pichai called the demands extraordinary, stating they would force a de facto divestiture of Google's core search intellectual property and make continued investment in search technology unviable.
  • He warned the proposed data sharing would allow rivals to reverse engineer Google's search technology and argued the remedies risk ending decades of innovation in AI-enhanced search.
  • The case outcome could reshape the internet, potentially reducing Google's dominance, but Google plans to appeal and the final decision is expected by August 2025.
