Australian class action targets Google’s ad tech platforms

A new class action has been mounted to recover compensation for Australian website and app publishers who have been impacted by Google’s alleged “misuse of market power in the advertising technology sector”.

Following speculation that local class actions were being investigated, law firm Woodsford is organising and funding the class action in Australia, which will be led by Piper Alderman.

The class action “relates to global misconduct by Google”, according to the law firm, and it follows a number of international antitrust proceedings brought against Google over abuse of its digital advertising monopoly.
