Facebook and Google illegally colluded to rig the ad-market with a program called #JediBlue that let the companies steal from both advertisers and media companies:

Apple blocked Facebook's surveillance on its mobile devices, but increased its own surveillance of #Iphone and #Ipad users in order to target ads to them, even when those users explicitly opted out of spying:

It gave those advertisers a great deal, charging a pittance to target ads based on the dossiers of nonconsensually harvested personal data they'd stolen from you.

Sellers became dependent on Facebook, too, unable to carry on business without access to those targeted pitches. That was Facebook's cue to jack up ad prices, stop worrying so much about ad fraud, and to collude with Google to rig the ad market through an illegal program called #JediBlue:

And consent-theater or no, targeted ads reach fewer users every day, thanks to #AdBlockers, AKA, "the biggest boycott in world history":

And when a publisher *does* manage to display a targeted ad, they get *screwed*. The #Googbook #dupololy is a crooked affair, with the two tech companies illegally colluding (via the #JediBlue conspiracy) to divert money from publishers to their own pockets:

Today we have opened an investigation into the #JediBlue agreement between @google & @Meta. The aim may have been to target ads technology competing with Google, trying to weaken it and exclude it from displaying ads on publisher’s websites & apps. https://bit.ly/3vUk91b

Dans les indiscrets de Petit Web cette semaine, un résumé de #JediBlue, l'accord secret et illégal entre #Facebook et #Google. Effarant. https://www.petitweb.fr/indiscrets/les-indiscrets-du-25-octobre-2021/

#Google​n monopolioaren aurkako txostena benetan arduratzekoak diren hainbat gauza azaleratu ditu.

173 orrialdeak irakurri dituen batek dio "bietako bat, Googleri ederra datorkio edo gure gizarteari ederra datorkio, ikusiko dugu bietako zeini". Aipatzen dituen puntuetako bakoitza asko arduratzeko modukoa da:

Txostena hemen dago irakurgai:

Zelako eskandalua! #monopolioa #pribatutasuna #Facebook #JediBlue #ProjectNERA #Chrome #Microsoft

And the world will soon be governed by Google and Facebook.
