U.S. judge rules Google is an online advertising monopoly | CNN Business

A federal judge ruled Google illegally monopolized online ads, risking a breakup of its $31 billion ad business. Shelly Palmer, CEO of The Palmer Group and Syracuse University professor, explains why the ruling could be outdated by the time the appeals are finished.
In an interview with CNN, technology expert Shelly Palmer discussed the ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google, focusing on the company's alleged monopolistic practices in the digital advertising market. Palmer explained that the lawsuit, brought by the US Department of Justice, accuses Google of using its dominance to unfairly disadvantage competitors and manipulate ad auctions. He highlighted that Google's control over both the supply and demand sides of digital advertising could potentially stifle innovation and harm consumers by limiting choices and increasing costs. Palmer also touched on the broader implications of the case, suggesting that the outcome could set a precedent for how tech giants are regulated in the future, potentially leading to significant changes in the industry's structure and practices.
