Inside Google's Ad Monopoly: Unveiling the DOJ's Major Decision and Future

In this eye-opening episode of the Manipulation Games: Psychology & Marketing podcast, we dig deep into the remarkable revelations about Google's alleged monopoly and the significant decision by the Department of Justice that found the tech giant in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act. Join our host and expert marketing guest Andrew Bloom as we explore how Google's dominance in advertising and search has molded the digital landscape and often crossed ethical boundaries, especially through the notorious 'Code Yellow' project.

The episode spans Google's rise to power, its initial ethical stance, and the shift to profit-driven motives. Additionally, we analyze the operational intricacies of Google's auction system for product recommendation ads and the need for a transparent, ethical framework in AI-driven advertising.

We conclude with an optimistic discussion on fostering ethical behavior through structured incentives and the potential for innovative solutions from the tech community.
