Michael K. SpencerBlockedUnblockFollowFollowingFeb 7Germany’s antitrust watchdog ruled on February 7th, 2019 that Facebook has abused its market dominance in collecting, merging and using user data. Facebook somehow thinks Germany is confusing privacy with anti-trust, a poor argument.

The U.S. might not take anti-trust seriously with the Ad duopoly and Amazon in E-commerce but Europe has different ideas. A lack of anti-trust scrutiny by U.S. regulators has created a Media industry that has been nearly entirely disrupted in a zero sum game damaging democracy.
