TL;DR
The US Department of Justice is exploring several remedies to restore competition in light of a court ruling that found Google to be a monopoly in the Search business.
Remedies could take the form of breaking up Android and Chrome away from Google or forcibly selling Google’s AdWords business.
Other remedies under consideration include banning exclusive search contracts and forcing interoperability requirements for AdWords.

So when they did this to Microsoft way back in I guess the '90s they didn't actually break them up and no one understood why and then of course we found out years later from I guess it was Snowden that the reason was that they forced Microsoft to put government back doors and spying mechanisms in everything that Microsoft produced. And that was why they didn't break them up. So my guess is the government's going to get heavily involved in Google's already massive spy Network.
