Google has been overcharging companies for years. This makes complete sense and is a massive liability exposure for them. Given they have already been found guilty in federal court looks like they are finally going to have to pay.

>Google, for its part, is pushing back, describing the claims as unfounded and reiterating that advertisers choose its tools in what it characterizes as a competitive market.
Ha. Hahahahaha.

A very large part of the entire tech and marketing economy is predicated on Google having a monopoly. Entire professions wouldn’t exist if they didn’t have a monopoly.

Google’s Alphabet group needs to be broken up.

$218 Billion is an insane number, even for Alphabet. These antitrust and ad-tech rulings are slowly chipping away at the monopoly, but by the time the legal system catches up, the market has usually already shifted to a new AI-driven search paradigm anyway.

[This is the same math that the record companies use](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/yxr3e4/til_that_when_the_riaa_sued_limewire_the_riaa/), where you somehow owe $120 million in damages for sharing twenty albums.
