Google call’s DOJ’s plan ‘extreme,’ Bloomberg reports

Google, in a Friday court filing, called the DOJ’s plan to force it to sell its Chrome web browser “extreme” and at odds with the law, urging the judge to take caution to avoid stifling innovation and future investment. “Extreme remedies are discouraged” by courts, the company said in its filing. The remedies for anticompetitive conduct “must be of the ‘same type or class’ as the violations,” Google said.
