A U.S. federal judge has rejected the Department of Justice’s attempt to force Google to sell its AdX advertising exchange and publisher ad server, despite an earlier finding that the company had built an illegal monopoly in online advertising. Judge Leonie Brinkema has instead opted for behavioral remedies, likely to include data-sharing requirements and greater compatibility with rival products, with the final measures still to be agreed. The decision marks the second time a court has declined to break up Google after an antitrust defeat, following a similar ruling in its search monopoly case. Judges in both cases have cited the practical difficulties of forcing major divestments and the risk that rapid technological change, particularly in artificial intelligence, could overtake remedies during lengthy appeals.
