Google’s Secret ‘Project Bernanke’ Revealed in Texas Antitrust Case
Texas is leading an antitrust lawsuit against Google that accuses the search company of running a digital-ad monopoly.

Google for years operated a secret program that used data from past bids in the company’s digital advertising exchange to allegedly give its own ad-buying system an advantage over competitors, according to court documents filed in a Texas antitrust lawsuit.

The program, known as “Project Bernanke,” wasn’t disclosed to publishers who sold ads through Google’s ad-buying systems.
