Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading a multistate investigation into Alphabet Inc's Google unit, said on Wednesday he has not taken any possible punishment off the table, including breaking up the search and advertising giant.
Google - along with Facebook Inc , Amazon.com Inc and Apple Inc - are under a series of probes into allegations that the tech behemoths use their clout to defend their market share or expand into adjacent markets."I'm literally open to doing what works. I would look at any remedy as a possible solution," said Paxton."I'm not going to say I prefer one remedy over another when I don't even know fully what the problem is.
Asked if a potential breakup was in the cards, Paxton said:"Everything is on the table. It's kind of up to them to take stuff off the table." Paxton said he would like the probe to end quickly. Asked how Google could make that happen, he said,"Cooperate? Tell their story? Tell a story that makes sense?"
