Ex-Google executive said goal was to 'crush' competition, trial evidence shows
Medial

During the antitrust trial against Google, prosecutors presented evidence that a Google executive, David Rosenblatt, expressed the goal of crushing rival advertising networks in 2009. The statements support the US Justice Department's claims that Google sought to monopolize markets for ad networks and exchanges. Rosenblatt discussed the advantages of owning technology on both sides and in the middle of the market, comparing it to the power of the New York Stock Exchange. Google denies the allegations and argues it faces competition from other digital advertising companies. If found guilty, Google could potentially be required to sell off its Google Ad Manager platform.
