Yelp, a long-time rival of Google, has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the search giant, accusing it of engaging in anticompetitive practices in the local search market.that Yelp, one of Google’s most vocal competitors, has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the search engine giant. The move comes less than a month after a federal judge ruled that Google hadand maintained an illegal monopoly.
Yelp’s decision to pursue legal action against Google was bolstered by the Department of Justice’s recent victory in its antitrust case, which focused on Google’s exclusionary practices surrounding the distribution of search services. Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman told thethat the shift in antitrust winds following the DOJ’s win was a significant factor in the company’s decision to file the lawsuit.
In response to the lawsuit, Google spokesperson Peter Schottenfels stated, “Yelp’s claims are not new. Similar claims were thrown out years ago by the FTC, and recently by the judge in the DOJ’s case. On the other aspects of the decision to which Yelp refers, we are appealing. Google will vigorously defend against Yelp’s meritless claims.”
The lawsuit also claims that advertisers are negatively impacted by the suppression of competition in local search, as it leads more local advertisers to Google. Stoppelman noted that “Google has increased its year-over-year search advertising revenue by 20% or more each year for the better part of the last decade, while still being able to increase its market share.”
