Emily Normandin-Parker, 23, was struck and killed on a California freeway after an Uber driver ordered her and a friend out of his car in August 2023.
A US judge has ordered Google to make changes to its online advertising business. The company must make its ad tech tools interoperable with those of its rivals and share ad auction data. Google is also required to appoint an internal antitrust compliance monitor.
The ruling, made by US District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Alexandria, Virginia, stops short of demanding that Google break up its advertising technology business. The US Department of Justice had sought a breakup, specifically wanting Google to sell its AdX platform, where publishers pay a 20% fee to sell ads in instant auctions.
The changes ordered by the judge must remain in place for six years. According to Investing.com, Judge Brinkema wrote that the remedies would be sufficient to open up the ad tech markets to competition and prevent Google from engaging in anticompetitive conduct.
