On Thursday, Eastern Time, a US district judge ruled that Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., illegally monopolized two critical online advertising technology markets, potentially opening the door for US antitrust authorities to pursue the separation of its advertising business. This ruling represents another significant blow to Google in its ongoing antitrust battles. The judge emphasized that Google has established and maintained an extensive level of control by dominating the markets for ad servers and ad exchanges, thereby hindering fair competition from other advertising technology firms. While Google has yet to issue a public statement, it has signaled its intention to appeal the decision.
