What’s wild about it? This case is about its competitive practices in the marketplace, not privacy

What’s wild about it? This case is about its competitive practices in the marketplace, not privacy
- rollcat 2y agoAs someone who's very pro-privacy, I'm about to bring the most cynical take I could think of: you could argue that the effective monopoly (well oligopoly, if you also consider FB a part of the problem) on acquiring / processing tracking data at scale creates an uneven playing field for all businesses, who have to resort to using Google's ads&analytics services - or entirely give up any edge that their presence on the open Internet could bring them. I could imagine a much better world where the playing field is levelled for everyone by outlawing tracking entirely, but I'll just keep on dreaming.
