Google's Ad Exchange Ruling: A Pyrrhic Victory for the DOJ? The Department of Justice's attempt to force Google to sell its AdX ad exchange has been rejected by federal judge Leonie Brinkema.
The ruling is a blow to those who argue that Google's dominance in the online advertising market is anticompetitive.
At the heart of the DOJ's case was Google's alleged abuse of its monopoly position, which allows it to charge higher fees and facilitate a larger proportion of ad sales.
