Digest: Magnite Sues Google; Google to Invest 5bn in UK AI; Australia Won't Implement Accuracy Threshold for Social Ban Age-Check Tech - ExchangeWire.com
"Magnite has sued Google in US District Court, seeking damages and remedies after an April 2025 ruling found the tech giant had willfully engaged in anticompetitive practices to maintain its dominance in ad tech. The sell-side ad firm alleges Google ran an exclusionary scheme that locked publishers into its ad server and gave preferential treatment to its own exchange, undermining competition and harming publishers, advertisers, and independent players such as Magnite."
"Google will invest £5bn in the UK over the next two years to meet rising demand for artificial intelligence services. The opening of a new datacentre in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire - its first in the UK - forms part of this investment. The company said the investment will support thousands of jobs and fund capital expenditure, research and development, and engineering. Google DeepMind will lead new AI research projects in science and healthcare."
