Google is splitting apart. The European Union has talked about splitting Google apart. Are the two related? Is Google trying to cleverly preempt whatever the Europeans decide to do? Nope. At least not according to four legal experts who spoke to Business Insider. The main indication? As Iowa Law professor and European antitrust expert Herbert Hovenkamp told us, "The division lines are in the wrong place." Under the surprise Google plan announced yesterday, the core businesses of Google — search, ads, YouTube, Android, and the like — will become a subsidiary (called Google) of a larger entity called Alphabet.
