The State Of Texas, Et Al V Google, Llc
Several states and territories, including Texas, have filed a lawsuit against Google LLC for antitrust violations. The lawsuit alleges that Google has used exclusionary tactics, such as an unlawful agreement with Facebook, to dominate the online advertising landscape for image-based web display ads. Furthermore, Google is accused of having a monopoly in several markets, including the publisher ad server, display ad exchange, display ad network, and ad buying tool markets for small advertisers. The lawsuit aims to establish that Google is guilty of antitrust violations and prevent the company from engaging in such practices in the future. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that Google's conduct has significantly altered the market's structure and harmed competition, and seeks to challenge Google's monopoly power and promote competition in the online display advertising market.
