It may seem unfair, though the judge isn't allowing the Government to use their court to backdoor a exposure of Google's ad business, which doesn't prevent the Government from opening up a Monopoly case (or any other case) against Google, it just means the Government won't be permitted to do this specific thing in this specific way. It's the law and it's pretty simple, and Googles lawyers saw that.
