Overview of Google's Antitrust Lawsuits

Two significant antitrust lawsuits against Google have been brought forward that could challenge the company's market dominance. One lawsuit focuses on Google's monopoly in online search, highlighting claims that Google pays manufacturers and operating systems to prioritize its services over competitors, creating an anti-competitive landscape. The second lawsuit addresses Google's stronghold in the ad tech sector, asserting that its practices undermine competition within the advertising auction system. These cases are seen as pivotal to shaping antitrust law concerning big tech companies and could set a precedent for future regulations.
