Facebook and Google did not have a secret deal
@ 2022/09/19A US federal judge rules
A federal judge in the US has cleared Facebook and Google of collusion in relation to an online marketing deal between the two companies. However, Judge P. Kevin Castel allowed the ongoing antitrust case against Google to continue.
Judge Kevin Castel claimed the “Jedi Blue” deal broke no laws because of “Facebook’s motivation to use its economic clout as an advertising to drive the hardest bargain it could, and that Google was motivated by the legitimate, pro-competitive desire to obtain as much business as possible from Facebook.”
