Google Faces Over $3.2 Billion in Damages Over Ad-Tech Antitrust Lawsuits
Yahoo Finance ·
Alphabet Inc.'s Google is facing more than $3.2 billion in potential damage claims from major media companies and roughly 5,000 digital publishers regarding its online display advertising exchange practices. U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel in Manhattan rejected Google's challenges to the financial damage calculations, allowing jury trials to proceed. The collective class-action suit seeks about $1.7 billion, while individual actions from major entities like USA Today Co. and Daily Mail General and Trust Plc permit them to pursue approximately $900 million and $600 million, respectively. Following the ruling, Alphabet shares slipped about 1.7% on Thursday. This legal battle stems from earlier federal antitrust rulings that found Google illegally monopolized digital ad technology sectors. A specific trial schedule has not yet been finalized by Judge Castel.
