The remedy phase in the US trial over similar ad tech issues starts later this month, so it is premature to call it “what the US couldn’t do”.

(You may be confusing it with the recent partial ruling in the remedy phase of the separate search antitrust case.)


The US just won two antitrust trials in a row against Google in the past year. One for Google Ads and the other for Google Search (the chrome one).


Yeah, and then we decided not to break them up. Discussed yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45120050


They haven't yet ruled on the much more important Google Ads case
