Google executive compares search advertising to ‘cigarettes or drugs’

  • Google’s VP for Finance, Michael Roszak, once likened the company’s search advertising business to illicit activities like ‘cigarettes or drugs’.
  • The Justice Department has used Roszak’s remarks in an antitrust case against Google, alleging the company used anticompetitive tactics to maintain dominance in the search business.
  • Google has objected to the document’s use in the case, stating it was drafted for a public speaking class and does not reflect the company’s views.
