Google faces $6.6 billion lawsuit for abusing ‘near-total dominance’ in Search, company says it’s ‘yet another…’

Google is facing a substantial 5 billion pounds ($6.6 billion) class action lawsuit in the UK for allegedly abusing its “near-total dominance” in the online search market to inflate advertising prices. A lawsuit has been filed with the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal, accusing Google of leveraging its powerful position to unfairly restrict competing search engines.

According to a report by CNBC, this alleged anti-competitive behaviour allowed Google to solidify its dominance in the search market and establish itself as the indispensable platform for online search advertising.
