Google parent Alphabet asked a U.S. federal judge to dismiss a Justice Department lawsuit alleging that the search giant illegally abused its dominance of online advertising
asked a U.S. federal judge on Monday to dismiss a Justice Department lawsuit alleging that the search giant illegally abused its dominance of online advertising.
"In the more than three years that it has been investigating Google's ad tech business, the United States has received more than two million documents from Google and taken over thirty depositions of Google witnesses," the company said in a court filing late on Monday. "Yet plaintiffs remain unable to find support for their claimed antitrust harms."
The company also said the government was wrong to assert that Google's acquisitions of DoubleClick and AdMeld, both more than 10 years ago, harmed competition. Antitrust enforcers approved both transactions at the time.The case is being heard by U.S. Judge Leonie Brinkema in the Eastern District of Virginia.
