Google has said that the government really gets this wrong. They're not understanding the space, that they have plenty of competition here, that advertising tech is an industry that's alive and well, and that it just happens to exist. have these tools that have certain efficiencies with each other that ultimately benefit the industry.
Google has said that the government really gets this wrong.

We haven't really gotten to hear their case in full yet because right now the government is going through its witnesses. And after that, we'll get to hear more of Google's side of the story. But we did get to hear a little bit of this in opening arguments.

In the Google search case, that was a case about essentially Google's contracts with browser makers and phone makers that would make Google search the default on their platforms. Ultimately, the judge in that case ruled that Google did illegally monopolize the search market and that while it's true that consumers could change the defaults on these browsers or phones, that it was the

clear to the judge that Google intended to illegally monopolize this market and box out competitors from being able to really gain a foothold in this space. So that's a case that's currently in the remedies phase. So they're figuring out What's the government going to ask for in order to solve this harm that the judge found in this case? The arguments in these cases, they're pretty different.

They're different industries in a sense, although, of course, the popularity of Google really arises from its search product. But I don't know if it necessarily tells us the full story of how the judge might approach this case because it is a different industry. It's a different set of facts.

I would say it's more akin to two separate avenues, just because the first case, the search case, was filed under the Trump administration. The second case was filed under the Biden administration. The Biden administration did continue to carry out the search trial when that administration took over. So I don't think there's necessarily a dispute in how necessarily they think about these markets.

But They are different cases. They kind of stemmed from different administrations. But that said, you know, there is something that's a little bit odd about talking about the advertising technology business in isolation just because a lot of the demand that, especially in Google's advertising network, comes from the popularity of search.
