  "account": "A US federal judge has rejected a request from the Department of Justice to force Google to sell its ad exchange platform, AdX. Instead, the company must ensure its advertising technology works with those of competitors. AdX holds real-time auctions for ads that are displayed when users access a website, with advertisers paying a 20 percent fee. Google has achieved another significant success in an antitrust case related to online advertising. The decision was initially made public under seal, with a redacted version to be released later this month.",
