Yelp's antitrust lawsuit alleges Google takes advertising dollars away from local companies while giving consumers an 'inferior' product.
Yelp is suing Google over claims the tech giant violated antitrust laws by using its dominance in internet search to boost its bottom line and crush competition in local markets.With its website and app, Yelp says it aims to connect consumers to businesses through local search, and to sustain this business, it sells local search advertising.
Journalism union says Google's deal to pay for California news isn't enough'This is a case about Google, the largest information gatekeeper in existence, abandoning its stated mission to deliver the best information available to its consumers and instead forcing its own low-quality local search content on them,' the lawsuit states.
Google illegally maintains monopoly over internet search, judge rulesThe lawsuit comes after a federal judge ruled earlier this month that Google violated federal antitrust laws by illegally maintaining a monopoly over search engines to thwart competition and charge advertisers high amounts, all without investing in the quality of its search engine. The judge said that this was done through Google's exclusive agreements with companies like Apple that set the company's search as default.
