Google has to make big changes to its advertising empire. Here's what a judge ruled — minus the jargon.

Google won't be broken up, but it will have to rewrite the rules of its adtech empire.

Google's massive adtech empire faces significant changes following a court ruling. While the company won't be broken up, it must implement behavioral remedies to address its illegal monopolistic practices. The key changes include prohibiting Google from giving preferential treatment to its own services, integrating with Prebid, providing publishers with historical and configuration data, and preventing discrimination in favor of Google's technology.

These remedies, in place for six years, aim to create a fairer market and level the playing field for other players in the online ad industry.
