massive size to squash competition in the online ad market, which generated $31.7 billion in revenue for Google in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The agency has already sued Google once, under the Trump administration in 2020, for its alleged domination of the online search market through actions such as requiring Android phone manufacturers to set Google as the devices\u2019 default search

attempt to stave off the second Justice Department suit, Google earlier this summer proposed at least one settlement to the feds, offering to spin off the business that auctions and places ads on its digital properties as a separate company controlled by the same parent company, the Wall Street Journal reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet the Justice Department reportedly rejected the offer and is taking a hard line against Big Tech under Attorney General Merrick Garland and other Biden appointees. <\/p>\n<p>Doha Mekki, the Justice Department official expected to lead the legal fight against Google, warned in April that the agency will be uncompromising in future antitrust fights. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to see a lot more litigation from the antitrust division,\u201d Mekki said. \u201cThe division\u2019s position is we are not planning to take settlements.
