Google has a monopoly in online advertising - judge ruled

[gspotman]

One scenario I see is they will try break up Google.

"New York CNN —

Google has illegally built “monopoly power” with its web advertising business, a federal judge in Virginia has ruled, siding with the Justice Department in a landmark case against the tech giant that could reshape the basic economics of running a modern website.

The ruling that Google violated antitrust law marks the US government’s second major court victory over Google in less than a year amid claims the company has illegally monopolized key parts of the internet ecosystem, including online search. And it is the third such decision since a federal jury in December 2023 found that Google’s proprietary app store is also an illegal monopoly.

Taken together, the trio of decisions highlights the breadth of trouble Google faces, raising the prospect of sweeping penalties that could reshape multiple aspects of its business, though ongoing and expected appeals will likely take years to play out. "

Alphabet Inc the parent company of Google is probably going to have to make some changes, like it or not to pacify government anti-trust regulators. Google seems to be getting a lot of attention in the US and EU.

Good let Google index more sites and let smaller sites get more views. Search fpr porn and it's nearly all tubes on the first page, gues what the top 5 tubes get most of page one coverage.
