Yelp Sues Google for Antitrust Violations, Alleging Abuse of Market Dominance

Yelp has initiated legal proceedings against Google, alleging antitrust violations. The lawsuit, brought in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and argued by Hausfeld attorneys Sathya Gosselin and Swathi Bojedla, accuses the tech giant of abusing its dominant position as the “largest information gatekeeper in existence.” Yelp claims that Google violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act and California’s Unfair Competition Law by directing users to its own lesser-quality content to bolster profits.
