If the draft terms of this deal were executed, it sure seems Google and Facebook will have a difficult time defending themselves against what appears to be allegations of collusion and price fixing. https://t.co/qfk1MyDCx0

Google extended to Facebook, its closest rival for digital advertising dollars, a sweetheart deal to be a partner. The two companies accounted for more than half of all digital ad spending in 2019. https://t.co/RI92mDqybN

@Google and @Facebook collaborating like two mafia families. Unbelievable. @vestager needs to read this. We need to muzzle these companies as if they were rabid dogs. Or get the rusty hacksaw out, and cut their market-killing monopolies to pieces https://t.co/r8OWuEYpvD
