The new competition chief of the European Union, Teresa Ribera, has stated that the potential breakup of Google's business is still a viable option.

Ribera emphasized the need to address the market power of Big Tech companies, a concern previously raised by her predecessor, Margrethe Vestager, and the US Department of Justice.

Ribera, who recently began her five-year term, expressed her commitment to collaborating with the incoming US administration under President Donald Trump.

The discussion surrounding divestments as a means to reduce the dominance of major technology companies continues to gain momentum, reflecting ongoing regulatory scrutiny in both the EU and the US.
