Judge: Google Holds Illegal Online Ad Tech Monopolies

Alphabet's Google illegally dominated two markets for online advertising technology, a federal judge said on Thursday, dealing another blow to the tech titan in an antitrust case brought by the U.S. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Alexandria, Virginia, ruled that Google unlawfully monopolized markets for publisher ad servers and the market for ad exchanges which sit between buyers and sellers.

Google and others should have faced anti trust charges years ago. Big tech was given too much unilateral power probably because they were consistently political and in the Democrat left wing fold. Actually that "being political" made them a real threat.
