DOJ argues Google's ad tech creates illegal monopoly, potentially forcing sale of business.

The U.S. Department of Justice is arguing that Google's advertising technology creates an illegal monopoly, potentially forcing Google to sell its ad tech business. Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia is presiding over the case, with closing arguments scheduled for Monday. Google argues that the case focuses on a narrow niche and that it only controls 25% of the broader online advertising market. If found guilty, further hearings will determine remedies. This case is separate from the ongoing lawsuit concerning Google's search engine monopoly.
