WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) – The US government’s competition watchdog is increasing the pressure on Google with a second lawsuit. This time they accuse the Internet giant of unfair competition in the online advertising market. In the lawsuit published on Tuesday, the US Department of Justice is demanding, among other things, that Google’s division, in which ad technology is bundled, be broken up.
Google has resorted to anti-competitive and illegal methods to eliminate any threat to its own dominance of the online advertising market, it said. Among other things, the Internet group bought up potential rivals at an early stage, according to the accusation. As a result of Google’s actions, website operators earn less and advertisers have to pay more, criticizes the Ministry of Justice. In the end, that hurts everyone.
