Google's dominance in digital advertising is bad for competition, a new government lawsuit alleges.

Search giant's dominance in digital advertising is bad for competition, lawsuit claimsGoogle's dominance in digital advertising is bad for competition, a new government lawsuit alleges.The government alleges that Google's plan to assert dominance has been to "neutralize or eliminate" rivals through acquisitions and to force advertisers to use its products by making it difficult to use competitors' products.

The DOJ's suit accuses Google of unlawfully monopolizing the way ads are served online by excluding competitors. This includes its 2008 acquisition of DoubleClick, a dominant ad server, and subsequent rollout of technology that locks in the split-second bidding process for ads that get served on web pages.Representatives for Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, did not immediately respond to a message for comment.

This is the latest legal action taken against Google by either the Justice Department or local state governments. In October 2020, for instance, the Trump administration and eleven state attorneys general sued Google for violating antitrust laws, alleging anticompetitive practices in the search and search advertising markets.
