Its fascinating and weighty stuff. Thanks for the great summary.

This judge sounds like she'd make a good subject for a biography.

For me, this is a very complex issue. The article helps clear some of the debris and make it more possible to understand. Thanks.

Thanks for the summary.

On: "Although Lee testified that “behavioral” remedies (that is, telling Google not to do bad things) to be useful, especially for their relatively quick effects, he concluded that the long term achievement of those three objectives would require Google to divest both AdX and DFP, or “structural” relief." I think you meant to say "Although Lee testified that “behavioral” remedies (that is, telling Google not to do bad things) can be useful..." or "are useful".

Later on the point about whether there are previous illegal monopolistic practices by Google or Google is just a "bad actor" seems like an in-the-weeds legal issue. You have to have done a particular "bad thing" to be able to be cured of that behavior. Thanks again for the great summary.
