Capital Region Independent Media LLC, a publisher in the Albany, New York area, has joined the massive lawsuits filed by newspapers alleging monopolistic behavior by Google and Facebook.
The company filed a complaint in the United States against Google LLC and Meta Platforms Inc. Northern District of New York District Court on July 26. They have claimed that Google and Facebook “illegally conspired to manipulate online auctions that generate digital advertising revenue,” thereby creating a duopoly and harming publishers who rely on these monies for survival.
According to the complaint, Google “created a ‘walled garden’ to retain its captured audience through acquisition, merger, and elimination of threats to its platform,” citing sources such as a House Judiciary report.
It also claims that “Google and Facebook, archrivals in the digital advertising market, conspired to further their global dominance in a secret agreement codenamed ‘Jedi Blue.'”
According to the claim, “Google has significantly monetized the content produced by newspapers while impeding newspapers’ ability to effectively monetize their own original content and/or effectively excluding newspapers from the digital advertising market.”
Meanwhile, last week, news organizations were notified that Meta will no longer pay for their content on Facebook’s News Tab. They can post content on Facebook for free, but they will not be paid.
