The assertion made by the author is that the way these companies grew is only sustainable in the current legal environment. So the advantage they have right now by being bigger is nullified.
- xboxnolifes 2y agoYes, the way they grew is only sustainable from the current. What about not growing, but maintaining?
- lelandbatey 2y agoThe parent said "grew", but I think a closer reading of the article indicates a more robust idea that tboyd47 merely misrepresented. A better sentence is potentially: are able to profit to the tune of a 40% margin on advertising revenue With that, they're saying that they're only going to be able to profit this much in this current regulatory environment. If that goes away, so too does much of their margin, potentially all of it. That's a big blow no matter the size, though Facebook may weather it better than smaller competitors.
