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

Interesting to see evolving views of anti-trust and competition harms being defined by the UK’s Competition and Market Authority. Soon, long with a few @Stanford colleagues, we will make recommendations on updating competition for the digital era as well ↘️ https://t.co/cZSCB4Aq2y
