> A US judge rejected the Justice Department’s request to make Google sell its AdX advertising exchange, but ordered the company to change some business practices. The DOJ had argued Google could not be trusted to run the exchange after the court found it had unlawfully suppressed competition. Details of the remedies remain sealed for 14 days.
