The Argument Against Antitrust First
Currently engaged in a lawsuit of antitrust with the US Justice Department2, Google is the massive technological corporation. According to the allegation, Google dominated most of the tools available for online advertising purchase and selling.
Google’s Strange Action⁻
Out of the blue, Google donated $2.3 million to the federal government to cover a bench trial instead of a jury trial2. This was done in response to claims that they overcharged federal government entities for web advertising purchased between 2019 and 2023².
Bench The Trial
One kind of bench hearing is those held by a judge by themselves without a jury. The $2,289,751 cashier’s cheque covered all of the damage claims, according to US District Judge Leonie Brinkema. Thus, the judge will be in charge of the hearing scheduled for September; no jury is required.
4: Conflict
According to the Justice Department, the $2.3 million payment was insufficient and the agencies ought to have received additional funds. Judge Brinkema disagreed and said that a reasonable interpretation of the expert studies did not warrant a greater amount².
Future of the Case:
Google is now defending three more antitrust claims. The results of this experiment might have significant impact on Google and the broader IT sector2.
