"We're not done yet"! After losing the lawsuit, the U.S. Department of Justice vows to continue pursuing the Google breakup case.

Although Google temporarily avoided the most severe breakup measures in the latest ruling, the U.S. Department of Justice has made it clear that it will not stop here, vowing to continue promoting antitrust actions against large technology companies.

In Tuesday's ruling, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta rejected the Justice Department's request to break up Google, only requiring Google to refrain from signing exclusive distribution agreements and to strengthen search data sharing. In response, Gail Slater, head of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division, stated, "We are not done," emphasizing the historical significance of the case and pledging to continue advancing antitrust lawsuits against Google and other tech giants.

The latest ruling is a major victory for Google, and Wall Street reacted positively, believing that the harshest breakup measures have been avoided for now. However, the tough stance of the Justice Department and related officials has dispelled outside expectations that the government may relax regulation.

Differences within the government on tech regulation, policy direction draws attention

Although the Trump administration claims it will crack down hard on monopoly behavior by tech giants, there are clear internal disagreements on the intensity and method of regulation.

The Justice Department recently fired two senior antitrust enforcement officials, one of whom accused an assistant to Attorney General Pam Bondi of being influenced by industry lobbying when handling tech merger cases. In addition, both Trump himself and Vice President Vance have publicly supported breaking up Google, but the administration is also pushing for reducing burdens and easing regulation on the tech industry.

Analysts point out that this policy contradiction makes it hard for the market to judge the future direction of regulation. Some investors worry that the government may adjust its attitude toward the tech industry based on political and economic interests, increasing the industry's uncertainty.

Tech giants intensify lobbying, face both lawsuits and compliance pressure

Tech giants such as Google, Amazon, and Meta have continued to ramp up their lobbying efforts with the government.

Senior figures such as Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg have all maintained close interactions with the Trump administration and made donations at the presidential inauguration. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently met with Trump, secured tariff relief, and announced additional investment in the U.S.

Nonetheless, Apple still faces an antitrust lawsuit by the Justice Department accusing it of abusing its dominance in the smartphone market. Meta is awaiting a ruling in the FTC’s antitrust case. In addition to the current case, Google will also face a breakup lawsuit over its digital ad business in Virginia later this month. On the one hand, tech companies are seeking policy support, on the other, they have to contend with persistent compliance and litigation pressure.
