Gannett Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google, Claims Tech Giant Abuses Power to Dominate Digital Advertising Market

Gannett, the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S., filed a lawsuit against Google for violating antitrust laws by illegally monopolizing the digital advertising market.
Gannett argues Google controls how publishers sell ads, forcing them to sell more ad space to Google at lower prices and reducing revenue for publishers and Google's rivals.
Google denies the claims, saying publishers have options to choose from in using ad technology and Gannett uses competing services.
The lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction against Google violating antitrust law.
The case adds to regulatory scrutiny of Google's ad practices by the Justice Department, state attorneys general, and the European Union.
