The United States government is considering a breakup of Google, viewing it as a monopoly, according to a recent court filing. The Justice Department filed an opinion in court Tuesday night after Judge Amit Mehta of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in August that Google had violated antitrust laws

U.S. government prosecutors unveiled a raft of proposed changes to Google on Wednesday as part of an anti-trust targeting the way the U.S.-tech giant promotes and distributes its key Google Search product.
