Yelp's Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google

Yelp has taken legal action against Google following a recent antitrust ruling, which concluded that Google exhibited monopolistic practices. The lawsuit accuses Google of favoring its own local search services over competitors like Yelp, thus undermining fair competition. With this ruling, other companies like Yelp feel empowered to challenge Google’s business practices, which were previously dismissed by regulatory bodies. The outcome of this lawsuit could set a precedent for other businesses and potentially alter how Google operates in the search market.
