US court rules Google will not have to sell ad exchange after losing antitrust case

A US federal judge has sided with Google, ruling that the company will not have to sell its online advertising exchange (previously known as AdX). The US Department of Justice (DOJ) sought this remedy in the long-running ad tech antitrust trial, which Google lost in 2025 . However, the remedies imposed upon Google for that loss are shaping up to be minimal.
