Alphabet’s Google is seeking a non-jury trial in the U.S. Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit that accuses the tech giant of engaging in anticompetitive practices in the online advertising sector. The lawsuit, filed in January 2023, alleges that Google has abused its dominant position in the digital advertising market. The Justice Department argues that Google should be compelled to divest its ad manager suite.
Google’s move to request a non-jury trial signifies the company’s strategy to navigate the legal proceedings in a strategic manner. The outcome of this request could have significant implications for the ongoing case and the future of Google’s advertising practices. The tech giant continues to face scrutiny over its market dominance and business practices, which will likely shape the landscape of the digital advertising industry.
