The largest newspaper publisher in the US sues Google, alleging online ad monopoly | CNN Business

The publisher of USA Today and more than 200 local publications filed the lawsuit in a New York federal court on Tuesday, and is seeking unspecified damages. Gannett argues in court documents that Google and its parent company, Alphabet, controls how publishers buy and sell ads online. “The result is dramatically less revenue for publishers and Google’s ad-tech rivals, while Google enjoys exorbitant monopoly profits,” the lawsuit states.

“Without free and fair competition for digital ad space, publishers cannot invest in their newsrooms.” Dan Taylor, Google’s vice president of global ads, told CNN that the claims in the suit “are simply wrong.” “Publishers have many options to choose from when it comes to using advertising technology to monetize – in fact, Gannett uses dozens of competing ad services, including Google Ad Manager,” Taylor said in a statement Tuesday.
