i'm trying to understand how eliminating such cookies could lead to antitrust concerns. Any enlightenment on that point would be appreciated.
- nullindividual 2y agoIf I recall, the primary issue was that Google was going to 'own' the replacement implementation. That doesn't mean other's would be locked out of it, but it would be yet another deathgrip of the web by Google.
- sgbeal 2y agoThat makes sense. Thank you.
- MattGaiser 2y agoHow would you create a competing ad network of the same scope?
- thfuran 2y agoHow about we ban advertising so that getting rid of the cookies doesn't have that problem?
