The Justice Department is nearing the end of its antitrust case against Google, accusing the tech giant of monopolizing the technology used in online advertising. The case, unfolding in a federal courtroom in Virginia, centers on whether Google has unfairly dominated the market for matching buyers and sellers of online ads.
Google's defense argues that the focus on a specific type of advertising is too narrow, pointing out competition from social media and streaming services in the broader online advertising landscape.
