The DOJ argues Google used a suite of ad tech products, particularly Doubleclick For Publishers (DFP) and the AdX exchange, to strong-arm site owners and advertisers.
One of the trial's biggest questions is how many markets Google actually works in, with the government seeing three distinct ad markets dominated by Google.
Google maintains there exists a single, competitive market of buyers and sellers for digital ads, contending that it faces competition from Meta and TikTok.
The case hinges on the comparison to a 2018 Supreme Court ruling that set a high standard for proving competitive harm in a single market.
