The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has submitted a filing giving a federal court a framework for restructuring Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google, including breaking up the tech giant for an illegal monopoly over search.

The 32-page filing said the government is considering a "full range of tools" that include "structural" remedies to improve competition. It said in the filing late Tuesday that it is also considering "behavioral and structural remedies that would prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to advantage Google search and Google search-related products."

Alphabet shares, wಞhich have gained almost 18% this year, fell 1.1% Wednesday morning.

JPMorgan analysts called the filing's framework "somewhat broad and unspecific in terms of exact remedies" and said it showed the Justice Departmetn's "expanded reach".

“Overall, we do 𝕴not believe the high-level framework changes much for Google shares near-term, & Street focus will shift to earniꦰngs over the next few weeks and then to final proposed DOJ remedies on November 20,” the broker said in a note Wednesday.
