    A court ordered Google to wire its ad tools to a rival open-source standard, hand publishers their own data, and stop letting AdWords bid preferentially into its own exchange — under a monitor, for six years.

    On September 16 the Justice Department announced the remedies ruling in United States et al. v. Google LLC, the advertising-technology monopolization case in the Eastern District of Virginia. The relief is behavioral rather than structural, and specific: Google must build and support integrations between AdX and Prebid and between DFP and Prebid; AdX must submit real-time bids to competing publisher ad servers; publishers must be able to access and export their own data out of DFP and AdX; and AdWords — which DOJ says the court called Google's 'golden goose' — may not bid preferentially into AdX or other Google tools, and may not bid directly into DFP at all. A monitor and a technical committee will oversee compliance for six years, the length of the Final Judgment. DOJ says it 'continues to review the court's opinion' and will decide next steps.
