DOJ claims Google has “trifecta of monopolies” on Day 1 of ad tech trial
news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Monday, 9 September - 21:08
On Monday, the US Department of Justice's next monopoly trial against Google started in Virginia—this time challenging the tech giant's ad tech dominance .
The trial comes after Google lost two major cases that proved Google had a monopoly in both general search and the Android app store . During her opening statement, DOJ lawyer Julia Tarver Wood told US District Judge Leonie Brinkema—who will be ruling on the case after Google cut a check to avoid a jury trial —that "it’s worth saying the quiet part out loud," AP News reported .
"One monopoly is bad enough," Wood said. "But a trifecta of monopolies is what we have here."
