A federal judge ordered Alphabet Inc. Class A to relax online ad auction rules and appoint an internal antitrust compliance monitor, avoiding a business breakup. The ruling follows an April 2025 finding that the United States technology giant maintained an illegal monopoly in online ad tech. The remedies aim to restore competition across ad markets without forcing a divestiture of the company's advertising tools.
