A federal judge has ruled against Google again, branding it an abusive monopolist for exploiting its online marketing technology. This comes after a previous ruling regarding its search engine practices. The U.S. Justice Department is pursuing actions against Google to curtail its extensive power in the digital advertising sphere. The fight against Google’s monopolistic practices is expected to persist for years, with upcoming hearings focused on potential penalties, including a requirement for Google to divest its Chrome browser.
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 its online marketing technology.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema targets Google's digital advertising network, seeking to undercut the power accumulated since its inception in a Silicon Valley garage in 1998.
The battle against Google is likely to continue for years as the tech giant attempts to overturn monopoly decisions while advancing in the new realm of artificial intelligence.
The penalty phase of the recent case is approaching, with potential remedies including the requirement for Google to sell its Chrome web browser.
