 Posted on Knowledge24/7 | By Nitesh Srivastava In a major development shaking the tech industry, "Google is once again in the legal spotlight"—this time, for its "alleged monopoly over the digital advertising ecosystem". The Second Big Blow to Google   On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) launched a high-stakes "Antitrust Trial Against Googl", accusing the tech giant of using unfair and monopolistic tactics to dominate the online advertising market. This comes just months after a judge ruled in favor of the DoJ in a separate case, declaring that Google had "illegally monopolised online search". This latest trial poses a much larger threat—targeting the very core of Google’s AdTech business , which is responsible for over 75% of the company’s total revenue. What’s at Stake?   Google earned more than \$200 billion from online ads in the past year alone. Prosecutors argue that the company unfairly takes up to 36% of advertiser spending...

The swearing in of former Supreme CJI, Justice P.C. Ghose as the first Lokpal Chairman New Delhi : The swearing in of former Supreme Court judge, Justice P.C. Ghose as the first Lokpal Chairman on Saturday is the outcome of years of dogged litigation by NGO Common Cause, the apex court's own judgment in April 2017 and, finally, the contempt of court proceedings initiated against the government for its inability to implement the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act of 2013.                         The top court has consistently kept up the pressure on the government every step of the way. The past years have seen the government stall the appointment of the anti-corruption ombudsman for various reasons, chief among those was the absence of a Leader of Opposition (LoP) in 16th Lok Sabha. This loophole was overcome on April 24, 2017 when the Supreme Court declared that absence of a member of the high-level Lokpal selection committee c...
