Google’s regulatory troubles deepened Thursday after a federal judge ruled the tech giant illegally monopolized the online advertising market by controlling the publisher ad servers and ad exchanges. The ruling follows a separate August decision that found Google maintained an unlawful monopoly in internet search. Google is under pressure as it defends its core business in court while facing rising competition from generative AI tools like ChatGPT that offer new search alternatives. Its revenue growth has slowed, and Trump’s new tariffs could further dampen ad spending.
