The online advertising market requires both internal & external #GDPR enforcement.
@Brave's new submission to @CMAgovUK shows why we need to act against the vast RTB data breach, but also act against Google's internal data-free-for-all too.

@brave @CMAgovUK Google, and Facebook, operate internal data free-for-alls that sustain their monopolies. In competition law, that's a problem. But it's also a problem in data protection law - and data protection law happens to have a handy *consumer-led* remedy!

@brave @CMAgovUK @Kartellamt @ICOnews It is tricky, because the vertically integrated platforms can hide behind three layers of infringement. Data protection authorities have to knock down all three. But once they do, the Googles and Facebooks have nowhere to hide.

@brave @CMAgovUK @Kartellamt @ICOnews @lynskeyo @BeterOpDeFiets Our new submission to @CMAgovUK shows why the a functioning digital media & advertising market requires #GDPR enforcement against the "external" RTB data breach, but also against Google's "internal" data-free-for-all too.

@brave @CMAgovUK @Kartellamt @ICOnews @lynskeyo @BeterOpDeFiets 'Purpose limitation' enforcement (and enforcement of GDPR Article 9 and Article 7 too) would allow a consumer-led functional separation of vertically integrated platforms (Google and Facebook).

@brave @CMAgovUK @Kartellamt @ICOnews @lynskeyo @BeterOpDeFiets For the "real-time bidding" digital advertising market, @Brave suggests that @CMAgovUK should consider both 'internal' and 'external' enforcement factors in its market study, and press @ICOnews to act.
