Nine states on Monday joined eight others in a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice against Google for allegedly monopolizing multiple digital advertising technology products.
The amended lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. It accuses Google of monopolizing key digital advertising technologies, known as the “ad tech stack,” in violation of antitrust laws. These technologies are crucial for website publishers to sell ads and for advertisers to reach potential customers.
Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Washington, and West Virginia have joined the group of eight co-plaintiff states, which originally comprised California, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Virginia. The original lawsuit was filed in January.
“We look forward to litigating this important case alongside our state law enforcement partners to end Google’s long-running monopoly in digital advertising technology markets,” said Doha Mekki, principal deputy assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Antitrust Division, in a statement on Monday.
