DOJ Accuses Google of 'Rigging' Ad Auctions in Antitrust Trial Closing Arguments

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has made its closing arguments in the latest antitrust case against Google, alleging that the company's advertising technology is an illegal monopoly. The DOJ claims that Google linked together ad-related technologies to stifle competition and force publishers to rely on its systems for ad revenue, while Google argues that there isn't enough evidence presented by the prosecution. A ruling in the case is expected within a few months.
