I think it’s worth saying for people not too familiar with the space that this is specifically about Display and Video ads on third party websites. The lawsuit is about how Google managed to get in the entire stack (publisher, exchange and (less importantly for the lawsuit) buy side) and (according to the plaintiffs) abused their positions.
I’d really encourage people read the lawsuit. It’s long, but most of the reporting on it seems to be way too superficial and leads to people saying things like “they should split YouTube and Google search”, which really has nothing to do with the complaint…
- TheRealPomax 4y agoTo be fair, while that has nothing to do with the complaint: mannnn they really should. Insert MS comparison and a comment on how the US seems to not have the power to do anything more than wag their finger at anti-trust here.
