Google is 'once, twice, three times a monopolist,' says the Justice Department

Google lawyers say the U.S. case proved "the exact opposite" of a monopoly.

The company had to make sweeping changes to its services in the European Union as a result of the Digital Markets Act, and recently lost a case in the U.S. that ruled Google has a monopoly on search. Advertising represents a significant portion of Google's total revenue, about one-tenth's worth, and that's large for a company with a two-trillion-dollar market valuation. Dunn added that "the law simply does not permit, and the evidence does not support" the claim that Google's ad-tech business is monopolistic, and said the DOJ's case ended up proving "the exact opposite."
