Isn't settlement far more likely than losing all the way through appeals? And in what way is it straightforward? Does it not require a new interpretation of antitrust law? Google isn't using monopoly power to increase prices for consumers.
- nojito 6y ago>Google isn't using monopoly power to increase prices for consumers. This is whole reason for the criminal trial. If they can prove Google stifled competition in the advertising business, it is going to be a cut and dry case.
- cromwellian 6y agoFacebook and Google only account for 50% of all digital ad spending online, so clearly there are lots competition, it's just fragmented.
