Google has reversed a policy forbidding employees from discussing its antitrust woes following a settlement with workers.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google in 2020 , alleging that the company has kept its share of the general search market by creating strong barriers to entry.

The DOJ has said it is considering structural remedies, including breaking up Google 's Chrome browser, which it argues gives Google an unfair advantage in the search market.
