About this case

Advertisers allege that Google used contractual restrictions, opaque algorithms, technical barriers, and control over products including Google Ad Manager, Google Ad Exchange, and YouTube inventory to limit competition and charge supra-competitive advertising fees. The Ninth Circuit reversed dismissal of the class-action lawsuit, and the matter is ongoing as it returns to the district court.
