- Google's CEO and VP of Search previously stated the web is thriving, but a recent court document from Google's lawyers claims the open web is in rapid decline.
- The court document suggests that divestiture proposals would harm publishers relying on open-web display advertising revenue.
- The statement contradicts earlier executive comments and aligns with concerns from the open web community.
- Google's VP of Global Ads clarified that the decline reference was specific to 'open-web display advertising', not the open web as a whole.
- The discrepancy raises questions about whether Google executives misled the public or the court.
