(Bloomberg)-A judge claims that Alphabet Inc.’s Texas-led state group monopolizes the market for vehicles to publish online image advertisements against Google.
Sean Jordan, the US regional judge in Texas Plano, will plan the hearing after a relevant US Department of Justice has been resolved. Initially the second delay for the case planned at the end of March.
The case contains 15 states and Porto Rico. It is the second antitröst case for Google’s advertising technology and potentially forcing some business sales. The case is also looking for more than $ 100 billion civilian penalties within the scope of various state antitröst and consumer protection laws.
In April, a federal judge in Virginia decided to decided the Ministry of Justice and a separate group of states in its own antitröst cases, according to Google’s advertising technology business after a hearing last year. US Regional Judge Leonie Brinkema found that Google monopolized the market illegally for the software used by web publishers to sell ads, and monopolizes the buyers and sellers of online ads.
Brinkema has held a September hearing to determine a correction that may include the company’s advertising technology business. The Texas case will be planned after Brinkema’s decision.
Two cases share many overlap. Both argue that Google has been monopolized for advertisements displayed throughout the web, judging all aspects of the sale of online ads. Both leave Google’s advertising technology business, and in 2008, the company, including DoubleClick, argues that past acquisitions should be prevented by antitröst practitioners.
Google also faces a decision in the antitröst case that can force the popular Chrome web browser and forcing other changes in the search business. In August 2024, the US Regional Judge Amit Mahta decided that Google monopolized the online search market illegally and now decided to remedy.
