Google has again been labeled a monopolist by a federal judge, marking a significant move against its online marketing technology. This ruling follows a previous decision that deemed Google had leveraged its search engine dominance illegally to stifle competition. The U.S. Justice Department has targeted Google in recent years across different administrations, indicating ongoing government scrutiny. While penalties are anticipated in the coming months, Google is likely to contest the rulings in appeals, all while navigating advancements in artificial intelligence.
Google has been branded an abusive monopolist by a federal judge for the second time in less than a year, this time for illegally exploiting some of its online marketing technology.
The ruling issued by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia comes on the heels of a separate decision in August,... that concluded Google's namesake search engine has been illegally leveraging its dominance to stifle competition and innovation.
...the battle is likely to continue for several more years as Google tries to overturn the two monopoly decisions in appeals while forging ahead in the new and highly lucrative technological frontier of artificial intelligence.
...the next step in the latest case is a penalty phase that will likely begin late this year or early next year, where Justice Department lawyers will try to convince Judge Mehta to impose a sweeping punishment.
