Fusion42 · 4 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

A US judge ruled Google illegally monopolized the publisher ad server and ad exchange markets but denied the DOJ's request to force divestiture of Google's AdX, opting for behavioral remedies instead.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Advertising Tech, and 14 sources have reported it between 2 Sep 2026 and 3 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Google keeps control over critical ad tech infrastructure despite the antitrust ruling, so you need to prepare for competition shaped more by enforcement than market restructuring.
