Google faces greater threat of forced ad unit sale from U.S. lawsuit

Spin off the biggest advertising company in the world from Google? Doubtful, but interesting.

Jan 27 (Reuters) – The U.S. government is more likely to force Google (GOOGL.O) to divest a key business with an antitrust lawsuit it filed this week than a group of states that has pursued a similar case for three years, legal experts said.

The complaint filed Tuesday in a Virginia federal court by the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division attempts to compel Google to sell part of its advertising technology unit.
