State enforcers have urged a Texas federal court to reject Google's request for a judge to decide on allegations of monopolizing digital advertising technology. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission filed an amicus brief in the Epic Games v. Google trial, addressing concerns about Google's market definitions and network effects. The brief emphasizes that Google should not use out-of-market competition as a defense. Additionally, the 9th Circuit Court has been hearing arguments regarding organizations supporting Google in the antitrust case, with concerns raised about their financial ties to the company. The U.S. Department of Justice is also opposing Apple's late attempt to influence the resolution of Google's search monopoly.

Organizations backing Google in an antitrust case brought by ‘Fortnite’ maker Epic Games should not be allowed to obscure their financial ties to the Alphabet unit, the 9th Circuit heard this week https://t.co/GJMMFDFBbR @MikeScarcella https://t.co/gJ4UuMQu3V
I'm particularly peeved by the false accusation of financial ties to Google here b/c of all the amicus briefs I've written, this Epic brief (which required me to work over Thanksgiving) is the one in which I'm most acting as a "friend of the court." https://t.co/dYFi0wzE60🧵
