A recent court decision in the United States has once again put Alphabet $GOOGL, Google’s parent company, firmly under the global financial spotlight. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia found Google guilty of unlawfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power in two critical online advertising markets: publisher ad servers and ad exchanges that connect ad buyers and online platforms. This ruling intensifies pressure on the tech giant, setting a powerful legal precedent for further antitrust action.
