Based on a recent court decision, Google could potentially be required to spin off some of its advertising services and adjust its business strategies regarding ads. A judge in Virginia determined that Google maintains a monopoly in two distinct advertising sectors. In light of this verdict, authorities may initiate an effort compelling Google to dispose of products associated with publisher ad servers and ad exchange markets.
This week, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, based in Alexandria, Virginia, made a ruling as reported by CNBC. In her decision, Judge Brinkema found that Google had broken antitrust laws in the markets mentioned earlier. However, antitrust lawyers were not successful in proving that Google held a monopoly in a third market, specifically advertiser ad networks.
Following the filing of the ruling, Google might be compelled by two American courts to exit several markets due to potential antitrust violations. Previously, in August 2024, Google had lost an antitrust case concerning its control over online search, and next week, the U.S. Department of Justice is scheduled to commence a trial to decide if Google must relinquish its Chrome browser and other aspects of its online search operations. In addition, it seems probable that the requirement for Google to offload its Ad Manager product will soon be added to the ongoing legal proceedings against the company.
In the upcoming weeks, there could be significant impacts on Google’s search and advertising sector. Keep an eye out for further developments regarding Google, as we anticipate the outcome of these legal cases. Stay connected with us at Shacknews for additional news on this matter.
