This week, the BBC covered news of a $4.2bn lawsuit that's been filed against Google in their article titled "Google faces new multi-billion advertising lawsuit"
The tech giant are alleged to have unlawfully used a dominant position in online adverts in a way that reduced what publishers could make from them.
Google declared it would fight the "speculative and opportunistic" action vigorously.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
