If you used Google's Double-Click for Publishers ad server or Google's AdX ad exchange to sell open-web display advertising space, a class action lawsuit could affect your rights

"Your rights may be affected by a class action lawsuit (the "Lawsuit") filed against Google LLC, Alphabet Inc., and YouTube LLC (collectively, "Google") about whether Google violated federal antitrust laws and overcharged for use of its AdX Ad Exchange ("AdX") platform. Google denies these allegations and any wrongdoing. The Court has not decided who is right."

"You are included in the Class if you are a person or entity in the United States and its territories that directly paid Google, through payment fees directly to Google or reductions in advertising revenue received directly from Google, for services associated with selling advertising impressions (other than instream video transactions) on websites via AdX from December 15, 2016, through March 31, 2024."

"If you exclude yourself from the Class by April 13, 2026, you will not be bound by any decision in this Lawsuit, but you will not be entitled to any benefits. You will keep your right to sue Google relating to the legal claims in this Lawsuit."

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Google, Alphabet Inc., and YouTube regarding alleged violations of federal antitrust laws and overcharging for AdX Ad Exchange platform services. The class includes U.S. entities that directly paid Google for advertising impression sales on websites between December 15, 2016, and March 31, 2024. Class members can either remain in the lawsuit to potentially share in any recovery from settlement or trial, or exclude themselves by April 13, 2026, to preserve individual legal rights. Court-appointed Class Counsel will represent the class, and any attorneys' fees would be deducted from recovered amounts. No funds are currently available, and recovery is not guaranteed.
