US judge rules Google must face some advertisers' antitrust claims

Alphabet-owned Google must confront a proposed class action lawsuit from advertisers alleging monopolistic practices in the ad exchange market. However, US District Judge Kevin Castel dismissed certain other antitrust claims, including those centered on ad-buying tools utilised by major advertisers. Castel's ruling came amidst a review of multiple cases against Google, wherein he struck down several claims while allowing at least one significant set to proceed.
