Odaily News The U.S. Justice Department is considering asking Google (GOOG.O) to break up after a landmark antitrust victory, and people familiar with the matter said the most likely units to be divested if the Justice Department moves forward with the split are the Android operating system and Google's web browser Chrome. One of the people familiar with the matter said officials are also considering forcing the sale of the company's AdWords platform for selling text ads. It is reported that Google's forced split would be the largest corporate split in the United States since AT&T was split up in the 1980s.
