A coalition of state attorneys general filed an antitrust case against Google on Wednesday.
They accused Google of giving Facebook unfair advertising advantages to stop it from getting into an area of adtech called "header bidding." Google perceived a move by Facebook into this space as a threat, they said.
Per Wired, if this deal is proved to be true, it could spell big trouble for Google and Facebook, as it would fall under part of the Sherman Antitrust Act that has a relatively low bar for illegality.
Google denied the claims, and Facebook was not immediately available for comment.
