Kansas Press Association

A great day for our industry!

Judge Leonie Brinkema of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ruled today that Google had acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in advertising technology, and that this monopoly has allowed the company to force news and content publishers to use its services, and offer them lower payouts for ad space than they would otherwise receive in a competitive market.

"Today’s decision, when coupled with Google’s dominance in search recently affirmed by the courts in a separate case, illustrates the stranglehold Google has on consumer data and advertising that has led to devastating revenue loss for creators of original, quality content," the News/Media Alliance said in a statement.

The Alliance has repeatedly highlighted the extensive harm Google’s anti-competitive actions have caused to both publishers and consumers. The Alliance has offered countless testimony on this issue, laying out the damage Google’s monopoly has caused publishers of all sizes, noting a particularly disproportionate impact on minority media.
