Google has recently suffered significant legal defeats primarily due to antitrust rulings, with a US federal judge confirming that the tech giant illegally monopolized the online advertising market. This loss, along with another ruling concerning the company’s control over online search, raises fears of a potential breakup of the corporation. These developments symbolize a larger movement against major tech entities like Apple, Amazon, and Meta, aimed at curbing their immense influence. Judge Leonie Brinkema asserted that Google's practices harmed not just competitors but also consumers and the competitive landscape altogether.
The exclusionary conduct substantially harmed Google's publisher customers, the competitive process, and consumers of information on the open web.
Google's rise to power was aided by illegal and anticompetitive practices, part of a broader attempt to limit the power of big tech.
