Alphabet, Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and the U.S. Department of Justice are set to present closing arguments on Monday in a trial to determine if Google’s advertising technology constitutes an illegal monopoly.
The Details: The DOJ alleges Google maintains a monopoly in "open-web display advertising" by dominating all aspects of the marketplace with a funnel of technologies that match online publishers to advertisers as well as controls the ad exchange market, which matches the buy side to the sell side.
