Note: This story contains spoilers from “The Wheel of Time” Season 3, Episode 8. “The Wheel of Time” capped a successful, momentum-gathering third season with Rand (Josha Stradowski) proclaiming himself to the Aiel, Mat (Dónal Finn) confronting the series’ “horror elves” for the first time and a second book-deviating death in as many weeks – all to showrunner Rafe Judkins’ plan. For many viewers, Season 3 of “The Wheel of Time” was a major leap forward in the series compared to the first two entries.

The ruling gives federal prosecutors the authorization they would need to break up the company’s advertising products.

It says Google “rigged the rules of auctions” for online ads by leaving web publishers, advertisers and general consumers few other options. The department says Google packaged its technology for placing digital ads with other services to force advertisers to use more of its products. Competitors did not have the same degree of control over the online ad technology, the Justice Department argued. Google reported annual revenue of $348 billion in 2024. Roughly 80% of it came from advertising sales on its sites and affiliated network. Much of the rest comes from apps and other products it sells. The stat
