Google faces significant internal changes as its Chief Privacy Officer, Keith Enright, departs after 13 years, and the role will not be replaced, according to Forbes. This comes amid a restructuring of Google's privacy and legal compliance teams. Additionally, Matthew Bye, Google's head of competition law, is also leaving after 15 years. These executive departures occur during a turbulent period for Google, as the company is embroiled in a landmark antitrust lawsuit with the Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ has rejected Google's attempt to avoid a jury trial by offering a settlement, insisting that the case be heard by a jury.
The retiring of the chief privacy role is obviously eyecatching. But @richardjnieva notes in the story here, the departure of Google's antitrust lead comes in the middle of a landmark competition trial with the DOJ over search. Rich covered that here: https://t.co/KUJIeZ5QPu https://t.co/sHvFsCbymH

The DOJ case against Google absolutely wrecks their shit. If you see Google doing things that look strangely democratic, it's to turn down the heat. https://t.co/7KBzQef9o0 It should be said that anti-trust doesn't stop monopoly, though. It provides an image of accountability. https://t.co/p9it4bak96
Google cannot head off a jury trial over its alleged digital advertising dominance by unilaterally cutting the government a check. The DOJ responded to Google’s argument that only a judge — and not a jury — should hear the government’s antitrust lawsuit https://t.co/K9SbInKXwK https://t.co/vdClsGgKKf
