flag Google faces a major antitrust decision over its ad tech monopoly, with a breakup of AdX possible in early 2026.

flag Google is making its final arguments in a U.S. antitrust trial over its digital advertising business, as Judge Leonie Brinkema weighs remedies after finding Google violated antitrust laws by maintaining illegal monopolies in ad tech, particularly through its AdX exchange. flag The Justice Department and coalition of states are pushing for a forced sale of AdX to restore competition, arguing self-regulation is untrustworthy due to past anti-competitive behavior. flag Google opposes a breakup, warning it would disrupt a complex system handling millions of ad requests per second, harm users and publishers, and undermine innovation. flag The decision, expected in early 2026, could reshape digital advertising and is part of broader federal efforts to regulate Big Tech, with Google planning to appeal both this and a separate search monopoly ruling.
