A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday refused to force Google to sell a division of its digital advertising business, rejecting the government’s push to break up part of the company’s ad empire.
In a court order, U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema opted instead for a set of rules governing how Google must operate in the ad market.
The decision is the second time in recent years that a federal judge has declined to dismantle a piece of Google’s business, after a judge last year refused to force the sale of its Chrome browser in a separate monopoly case over online search.
Those cases are part of a broader effort by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to curtail the competitive dominance of big tech companies, including Apple, Amazon and Meta.
