A US judge ruled that Google will not be broken up despite antitrust concerns over its adtech business, but the company must implement specific remedies to address competition issues.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Advertising Tech.

Antitrust enforcement against Google’s adtech dominance now targets operational changes, not structural breakup. You need to adapt your product and compliance strategy for a tighter market environment without expecting a wholesale competitor exit.
