Yelp filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google on Wednesday, accusing the tech giant of using its monopoly power to dominate local search and advertising markets, thus stifling competition and harming rival platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco, comes on the heels of a federal judge\u2019s ruling in August that found Google in violation of U.S. antitrust laws related to its search business. Yelp, a platform known for user reviews of local businesses, has long argued that Google unfairly limits its reach, particularly after Google declined to buy Yelp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur case is about Google, the largest information gatekeeper in existence, putting its heavy thumb on the scale to stifle competition and keep consumers within its own walled garden,\u201d Yelp stated in a blog post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La plainte all\u00e8gue que Google manipule les r\u00e9sultats de recherche afin de favoriser ses propres services au d\u00e9triment de ceux de concurrents tels que Yelp. Lorsque les utilisateurs recherchent des entreprises locales, Google mettrait en avant ses propres services de recherche, ce qui lui permettrait de capter l'attention des utilisateurs sans les rediriger vers des plateformes tierces telles que Yelp. Yelp affirme que ce comportement monopolistique nuit \u00e0 son activit\u00e9 en r\u00e9duisant le trafic vers son site, en diminuant ses recettes publicitaires et en augmentant ses co\u00fbts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yelp cite \u00e9galement des \u00e9l\u00e9ments indiquant que ses avis sont de meilleure qualit\u00e9 que ceux de Google, soulignant que 32% des avis publi\u00e9s sur Google ne contiennent pas de texte, alors que Yelp exige que les utilisateurs laissent un commentaire \u00e9crit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 cette action en justice, un porte-parole de Google a rejet\u00e9 les all\u00e9gations de Yelp, les qualifiant de d\u00e9pass\u00e9es, et a rappel\u00e9 que des accusations similaires avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9es par la Commission f\u00e9d\u00e9rale du commerce (FTC) ainsi que dans le cadre de r\u00e9centes affaires judiciaires. \u201c Google se d\u00e9fendra vigoureusement contre les all\u00e9gations sans fondement de Yelp \u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yelp r\u00e9clame des dommages-int\u00e9r\u00eats et une injonction visant \u00e0 emp\u00eacher Google de poursuivre ses pratiques anticoncurrentielles pr\u00e9sum\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
