Canada Files Lawsuit Against Google Over Ad Practices

Google is currently embroiled in multiple high-profile legal challenges, including ongoing antitrust cases in the U.S. and proposed class actions in Australia regarding its dominance in the digital advertising market. In the U.S., a federal judge ruled that Google violated antitrust laws, marking a significant loss for the tech giant amidst allegations of suppressing competition and blocking innovation. Concurrently, Canadian authorities have filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging it has abused its dominant position in ad tech, seeking to compel the company to divest two of its advertising tools. Meanwhile, in Australia, law firms are investigating claims of anticompetitive conduct by Google, which allegedly takes substantial revenue away from publishers and advertisers. Additionally, the Competition Commission in India has launched a probe following complaints from a gaming developer about Google's exclusionary practices. These legal challenges reflect a growing global scrutiny of Google’s market practices across various jurisdictions.
