On Thursday, a group of Senate Republicans and Democrats introduced a new bill that could force Google and Facebook\u2019s parent company, Meta, to spin off their online ads businesses, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Competition and Transparency in Digital Advertising Act \u2014 co-sponsored by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) \u2014 would ban companies processing more than $20 billion a year in digital ad transactions from running more than one portion of the digital advertising ecosystem. <\/p>\n

The restrictions would directly impact Google, which tech antitrust hawks have long seen as a vertical monopoly in display advertising. Omidyar Network advisor David Dinielli made the case directly to Congress in testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in 2020<\/a>. \u201cGoogle \u2014 through its various ad tech tools \u2013 represents both the suppliers and the purchasers,\u201d Dinielli said, \u201cand also conducts the real-time auctions that match buyers and sellers and determine the price.\u201d<\/p>\n
