Big Browser hit with new antitrust lawsuits

FOX– Several private publishers filed two antitrust lawsuits against Google this week as the company comes under increasing scrutiny over its advertising and search practices.

Dozens of state attorneys general and the Justice Department also filed two separate antitrust complaints, led by Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, respectively, against the tech giant on Thursday and Wednesday, respectively.

Sweepstakes Today is one of four companies that filed two private lawsuits, which Reuters published online, against Google, alleging that the tech giant has violated the Sherman Act by displaying monopolistic behavior through its digital ad sales.

“Publishers, including Sweepstakes Today, have seen their revenues decline significantly as Google uses their monopoly to horde more and more of the digital advertisement revenues,” attorney John Herman of Herman Jones LLC, who is representing Sweepstakes Today, told FOX Business in a statement.

He added that “the lawsuits by private litigants and the enforcement actions by the federal government and the majority of the states should put an end to these market abuses.” read more
