On April 17th, 2025, Judge Brinkema ruled that Google did act illegally to acquire and maintain monopoly power<\/a> in online advertising. Now, DOJ and Google lawyers are returning to the courtroom<\/a> to argue over whether this should lead to a Google breakup by forcing the company to sell its AdX exchange.<\/p>\n

Google responded that it created efficient products that work well for customers and said it faced plenty of competition.<\/p>\n
