England has filed a lawsuit against the technology giant Google for £5 billion. The lawsuit claims that Google has abused its dominant position by increasing advertising prices on the internet.
The search engine Google is facing a class action lawsuit in the United Kingdom for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the online search market, with claims exceeding £5 billion (approximately $6.3 billion). The lawsuit, filed on behalf of hundreds of thousands of UK-based organizations, raises allegations that the American tech giant has excluded rival search engines, raised advertising prices, and reinforced its dominance in the market through these means.
ALLEGATIONS OF ADVERTISING MONOPOLY AGAINST GOOGLE
The lawsuit submitted to the Competition Appeal Tribunal claims that Google has maintained its dominance in the market by restricting access to rival search engines and has increased advertising prices in this way. The plaintiffs argue that the tech giant has effectively created a monopoly in online search advertising through these practices.
This lawsuit comes at a time when regulatory bodies around the world are scrutinizing Google's dominant role in digital advertising and its dominance in the search engine market. Similar investigations and legal processes are ongoing in the European Union, the United States, and many other countries.
