Yelp co-founder and CEO Jeremy Stoppelmanclaimsthat Google did everything it could to keep consumers within its own walled garden.
“As a result, Google can extract higher fees from advertisers with little consequence,” Stoppelman explained.
StoppelmantoldThe New York Times that the recent DoJ verdict significantly influenced Yelp’s decision to finally sue Google.
The EU is now investigating the company again under the Digital Markets Act.
He compared this to acting as both a judge and a competitor in the same Olympic event.
The company is also appealing the recent DoJ decision.
