Casey Newton called it:
“A judge rules that Google must spin out its ad exchange”
We find out by Dec 31, 2026. 100 days to go · on the record 26 days, before anyone knew the answer
MET if A US federal court issues a remedies decision in the government's advertising-technology antitrust case against Google requiring Google to divest or spin out its ad exchange (AdX). Behavioral remedies, voluntary commitments, appeals-stage rulings that do not order divestiture, and settlements without divestiture do not count at any point, before 2026-12-31 23:59 (UTC).
Settles by documented review of public evidence against these locked criteria; the reviewer is named and the reasoning published.
True if, during 2026, a US court issues a remedies ruling in the government's ad tech antitrust case against Google that orders Google to divest its ad exchange (AdX). A behavioral-only remedy, a settlement without divestiture, or no remedies ruling in 2026 makes it false.

✓ The anchored proof cannot be rewritten, and the published record is append-only by default. Everything that happened afterward is in the history above — corrections are appended, never silently edited in.
The check runs in your browser and reads the anchored root straight from a public Base node — not from Thonest. How this works.
