Department of Justice lawyer Aaron Teitelbaum argued in court that Google allegedly rigged ad auctions, asserting that it unfairly controlled market access and competition.
Teitelbaum characterized Google as a 'predator' during the trial, emphasizing that publishers felt 'held hostage' by reliance on its ad revenue, illustrating the alleged monopolistic behavior.
Judge Brinkema challenged the notion of Google's superiority, questioning the merits of its product while Teitelbaum maintained that competition was stifled rather than promoted.
Legal analyst Vidushi Dyall pointed out significant gaps in the DOJ's case, highlighting the absence of evidence showing that Google suppressed superior products.
