US District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema declined the Justice Department's request to force Google to divest parts of its ad tech business following its illegal monopolization of digital advertising markets. Instead, the judge will impose behavioral remedies including restrictions on self-preferencing ad auction tactics and other modifications to restore competition. The specific remedies will be finalized after the parties review the judge's opinion and propose any additional revisions.
Why it matters
The decision preserves Google's corporate structure while still imposing court-ordered restrictions on its ad tech practices, directly addressing the illegal monopoly without forcing a structural breakup.
