In their recent filing as part of an ongoing anti-trust lawsuit, Google, presumably accidentally, uploaded documents to the court’s public docket that weren’t redacted. The Wall Street Journal saw the documents before a judge allowed them to refile the redacted documents.
In those initial documents, Google identified a program known as “Project Bernanke”, in which the documents detailed how Google used data from past auctions on their platform to create advantages for their own media buying.
