Google argued in a U.S. federal court this week that Google's technology provides a secure ecosystem, including tools, to advertisers and publishers, helping to combat Meta Platforms and Amazon. Google believes it has 'no legal obligation' to assist numerous competitors. The U.S. Department of Justice has accused Google of manipulating advertising technology. U.S. law enforcement officials pointed out in a federal antitrust case that Google has manipulated technologies related to buying and selling digital ads, which has harmed publishers and advertisers.
