Google in Court Again: Antitrust Case Seeks Ad Tech Breakup

Google in Court Again: Antitrust Case Seeks Ad Tech Breakup

The U.S. government is suing Google, claiming the company has too much control over online advertising.

The government wants Google to sell off part of its ad tech business.

Google argues against this, saying the government's plans are a bad idea and that it would harm competition.

The court will decide whether Google has been using its market power illegally.

This trial is similar to another case where a judge refused to break up Google's Chrome browser.

The outcome could have big consequences for how online advertising works.
