google uses this to further gatekeep the online advertising industry since non-google networks have to get Google's permission from the k anonymity server to show their ads. maybe someday someone will sue to break up this mess

As far as I can tell from reading the proposal, this claim is not true. The API is used from the bidding scripts run locally by the browser, and it is the ad space seller that decides which buyers' scripts are eligible to run.

Aren't there a few dozen attorney generals suing Google on various anti-trust grounds right now? Perhaps you should reach out to one of them and explain the specifics of this case. I'm sure they're happy to collect more examples of where Google is engaging in such anti-competitive behavior. The justice department is also suing them in (what I believe) is a separate lawsuit [0]. I'm actually connected to one of the lawyers consulting on the case. I could reach out and explain to her if I understood the details (which I don't in this particular instance).
