By "sell," they could also mean ending up having Chrome just split off from Google, as a new, independent entity that is its own company, without anybody needing to buy it in the first place.
The judge would immediately shut that down for creative avoidance. This is an order to sell, not break up. The DOJ specifically indicated behavioural remedies in this case, meaning Google must not remain in control of Chrome.
Don’t ya love it when people comment saying something that they think must be true as if it were actually true, without having the slightest idea?
How exactly is this company going to make any money?
I assume by continuing to sell data.
