Do the electronic exchanges mentioned in this paper include adds sold on Facebook and product recommendations from Amazon? It's hard to believe that Facebook's add space is that much smaller than Alphabet, and if Facebook is not included in the definition of "online display advertising space", then that seems like a pretty large omission.
- benologist 6y agoNobody's saying Facebook and Amazon won't get charges too. They and Apple were all part of the same investigation. The investigators say all four companies are abusing their positions but they haven't given a lot of detail yet. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-26/house-antitrust-panel-to-propose-fixes-for-big-tech-dominance https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-26/house-ant...

Amazon has a competing product in the programmatic space but it’s not the product you’re thinking of. Companies in this space: google, the trade desk, Amazon, Verizon, at&t (Xandr), etc. Keywords to search for are ad exchange, dsp (demand side platform), ssp (supply side platform), dmp (data management platform). Googles products are dv360 and doubleclick bid manager. Facebook is way way smaller than google, amazon’s advertising unit doesn’t even compare. This also doesn’t talk about google search. When you advertise online (paid) the three channels are search, social, and programmatic.
