However, the trial of the Federal Judge in Virginia described the martyrdom as “very questionable” and possibly “defective”, because Google officials were in a preceding knowledge of the concern of its monopolistic practices related to advertising instruments since the United States began in 2019. Her testimony to support the lawsuit Friday, after two weeks of certificates. This has enabled Google to start its defense and call on Scott Chevir, vice president of the company’s international partnerships, as a first witness. Chevir, who has 18 years of experience in Google, has revised the various products of the business and indicated that there are dozens of competitors in the online advertising sector, which increases a fierce competition in the market. Doubts about the Certificate of Google, but US partial court justice Leoni Brincima, who will eventually decide whether Google violated the law, has criticized the company’s lawyer for submitting a certificate she is not related to the most important being of the case. Brencima said it did not affect the core of the matters raised in this case, and questioned Chevir’s view of competition in the advertising technology sector, especially as the company was more than four years before the anti -monopoly examinations. A number of public prosecutors in the states also filed a fight against a monopoly against “Google” in 2020, followed by the lawsuit of the Justice Ministry last year. Customer loss in favor of “Microsoft” During his testimony, Chevar explained that “Google” recently lost some of its clients in favor of “Microsoft”, who bought the advertising sector from “AT&T” business in 2022. Scheffer also announced the details of the recent partnerships concluded by “Google” with the social media platform “X”, known as “Twitter” and “Roku”.

Google has denied these allegations.
