Requirements that officials are preparing to propose include that Google separate Android from Search and Google Play, but without trying to force Google to sell off Android. Another requirement would say it has to share more information with advertisers and that it “give them more control over where their ads appear,” the outlet writes.

Bloomberg also reports that officials will recommend that the company “give websites more options to prevent their content from being used by Google’s artificial intelligence products.” Finally, they will reportedly recommend “a ban on the type of exclusive contracts that were at the center of the case against Google.”

Yeah, the judge published a 300 page ruling in August on what parts of the Google business were or weren't an illegal monopoly. It's pretty reasonable to take 3 months to scour through those specific findings to propose specific remedies for how to address the parts that were an illegal monopoly, proportional to those findings, and informed by the actual facts of how the company is organized, what the market dynamics are, and all sorts of economic models.
