UK CMA proposes a new pro-competition regulatory regime to tackle Google & Facebook’s market power. A Digital Markets Unit would be empowered to bring forward a number of initiatives, including the possibility of mandating structural separation. https://t.co/gsUsvZWgR0

How much is a “substantial majority” of £1.2bn that Google paid to be the search default on Apple products in the UK, do we think? 75%? 80%? (From the Competition & Markets Authority report https://t.co/7Kwtsq34IF) pic.twitter.com/eRV2Fw2g7V

Lots of good ideas, but ultimately disappointing. No full market investigation, but rather another procrastination. And do you really see the UK with the Brexit mess, having to negotiate a trade deal with the US, giving this kind of powers against US digital giants? Won’t happen https://t.co/btjEh6NJUk

I should add to this thread for those outside beltway. It’s important regulators have gotten so smart, so quickly, so nonpartisan around globe in a few years. CMA here is UK’s main antitrust investigator. They are collaborating around world. Texas AG has recognized their work. https://t.co/JX4z9tfj5k

The UK competition and markets authority's new report on 'online platforms and digital advertising' suggests that large shady platforms should share all kinds of personal data with smaller shady data firms via a linkable personal ID to increase competition.

Nothing to see here. Just UK’s antitrust regulator @CMAgovUK saying that both @google and @Facebook may have to be broken up to improve competition in digital markets (these are possible suggestions, not actual demands — for now) pic.twitter.com/Wq9RtIph1C

? 437 pages. Final report. CMA continues to be a leader globally in recognizing intersection of data and competition policy and the unique role of tracking, data minining by Facebook and Google as their source of market power. Extensively covered in report (focus p149-). https://t.co/EsJlMcTixP
