A judge ruled in April that Google's digital ad network constitutes an illegal monopoly. The Justice Department filed a 2023 lawsuit alleging Google abused monopoly power to disadvantage website publishers and advertisers using competing ad tech products. A federal remedies trial began Monday in Virginia to determine appropriate punishment and potential structural or behavioral remedies. Google faces the possibility of a breakup of its ad tech business, a major revenue source. A recent separate antitrust ruling required Google to share search data but not sell Chrome. The remedies hearing is expected to last two to three weeks and could set precedent for other major tech firms.
