In the latest development in an antitrust lawsuit concerning Google’s advertising placement technology, Google is contesting a sanctions request made by various advertisers and publishers. The plaintiffs allege that Google failed to preserve crucial chat messages relevant to the case. Google, however, has argued that it has already provided plaintiffs with “mountains” of electronically stored information and that there is no credible evidence it has concealed any data. The tech giant maintains that the plaintiffs have not substantiated their claim of hidden information. For more detailed coverage, Google has been addressing these legal challenges in an ongoing manner as reported by Law360.
