Google Is a Monopolist … Again

Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled for the Justice Department , affirming that Google indeed had monopolized adtech markets in harmful ways.

It’s the third loss for Google in monopolization cases in the past 17 months .

Next week , the remedy phase kicks off in the case that found Google liable of monopolizing search engine markets.

Judge Brinkema reached a verdict before the trial in the Texas case even started, despite the fact that the Justice Department’s case was filed two and a half years later .

The judge found that Google did not monopolize the advertiser-facing side of the market.

Google lost all three of these cases despite acting to hide misconduct from law enforcers.
