It's a fact of modern Internet life that content providers rely heavily on the use of advertising to fund the creation and hosting of material we all view on a daily basis. The technology behind it all is a multi-billion dollar industry and there's one name that tops the charts: Google. So much so, that the US Department of Justice claims that Google has "used anticompetitive, exclusionary, and unlawful means to eliminate or severely diminish any threat to its dominance."
As reported by Ars Technica, the antitrust trial has only just got underway but it's already a firecracker, with the DoJ and witnesses brought to the case not holding back with their criticism and accusations of Google's apparent monopolistic behaviour.
