The lawsuit is Google’s second such test this year, following a similar government demand to split up its empire that was shot down by a judge earlier this month. Monday’s case focuses specifically on Google’s ad tech “stack” — the tools that website publishers use to sell ads and that advertisers use to buy them. In a landmark decision earlier this year,…
