"The judge found that Google has been engaging in behavior that stifles competition to the detriment of online publishers that depend on the system for revenue. Mountain View, California-based Google and the Justice Department will spend the next two weeks in court presenting evidence in a "remedy" trial that will culminate in Brinkema issuing a ruling on how to restore fair market conditions."
"After deflecting the U.S. Justice Department's attack on its illegal monopoly in online search, Google is facing another attempt to dismantle its internet empire in a trial focused on its abusive tactics in digital advertising. The trial that opened Monday in an Alexandria, Virginia, federal court revolves around the harmful conduct that resulted in U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema declaring parts of Google's digital advertising technology to be an illegal monopoly."
A remedy trial opened in Alexandria, Virginia, centered on Google's conduct in digital advertising after portions of its ad technology were declared an illegal monopoly by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema. The judge found that Google engaged in behavior that stifles competition and harms online publishers that rely on the ad system for revenue. The Department of Justice argues Google manipulates the market through computer code and algorithms. Google calls the DOJ's proposed remedy reckless and radical and says it will appeal the monopoly finding after the remedy is determined. The case, filed in 2023, threatens Google's 17-year digital advertising network and major services revenue.
