Google lost the antitrust case, will it have to sell Ad Manager? Special message issued to employees:

Recently Google has lost a big case, which is related to monopoly. Along with this, the company is facing another similar case, the trial of which can start by the end of this month. Not only this, Google has also received an antitrust cease order from Japan's Fair Trade Commission.

Memos sent to employees

In view of the concerns of its employees regarding all these things, the company has sent a memo to its employees, in which the company has requested the employees to concentrate on work and not think too much about this decision.

Let us tell you, on Thursday, the federal judge said in his decision that Google has violated antitrust and illegally created a monopoly in the online tech industry. In 2023, Google earned $237.9 billion through advertisements. This amount is much more than Microsoft and Baidu, which are Google's main competitors.

A case was filed against Google regarding this matter. This is not only the case with Google, other tech platforms are also facing such cases.

Will Google have to sell its business?

After this decision of the court, the US Department can put pressure on Google's parent company Alphabet to sell Google Ad Manager. The Department of Justice has already hinted at such action. However, on this matter, Google has said that we have won half the case and we will appeal for the other half.

Special message given to employees

In her message to employees, Google Regulatory Affairs Voice President Lee-Anne Mulboland stressed that the company has won half the case. The court has found that our acquisitions such as our advertiser tools and DoubleClick do not harm competition.

He said, we do not agree with the court's decision regarding our publisher tools. Publishers have many options, but they chose Google because our tool is simple, cheap and effective.
