🙋🏾‍♂️, you're paying for demand fulfillment. That's not a long-term strategy with Amazon. It's extinction.
"For every dollar Steelcase spent on Amazon ads during the holiday season, it made $30 in sales, the company says." wsj.com/articles/how-c…
I only take issue w/ this "expert" claim. It fails to recognize Google and Facebook get majority of their data from other parties (when users aren't using their services). There's a reason they've fought privacy standards/laws so hard. Antitrust + privacy is their 3rd rail. 🍿 Image
it's also why they're doing everything they can to try to stop Apple from moving forward with increased tracking prevention. And likely behind the collusion claim in the antitrust suits specific to Apple platform. Absence of privacy (status quo) is bad for "everyone else."
I still find it amusing when people argue Google and Facebook will become more dominant if there is tracking prevention. It defies economists and understanding of how they are the two biggest trackers... and it suggests the current market is a good one? crazy. Bye adtech complex.

Nice to see this. After having watched a few dozen hearings here, Canada, UK, Ireland even Singapore, I have a few thoughts of course. A lot of really great topics here. /1 justsecurity.org/75439/question…
One ask, we do need to stop repeating the meme of the Hatch question 3yrs ago. All parties globally are much more sophisticated, hearings have been a lot smarter. It plays into their hands to repeat it and reinforces the public belief Facebook and Google are invincible. /2
Again, lots of good questions here. Some are too long for a hearing of this size better for Questions for Record - especially if Congress demands actual answers. Here are some of my favorites. /3

Clubhouse has given Zuckerberg another channel to bypass difficult questions. And talk about what he wants to talk about...
I really don't understand the vitriol over transcribing a Donald Trump or interviewing a Steve Bannon but press and influencers have no second thoughts about showing up to relay Zuckerberg's random thoughts on innovation and the future without being able to grill him on harms....
it just seems like he should have lost any credibility at this point as noted by this gentleman.

3yrs ago today, NYT and Guardian (after threat from Facebook), broke massive scoop that Facebook's personal data had not only been sold to a political operative but FB had covered up what they ultimately labeled a "breach of trust." For 3yrs they've continued to cover it up. /1 ImageImage
Facebook had spent days bracing for the report even deciding to "leak" it out Fri night hours before NYT report by posting they were taking action against the political operative, Cambridge Analytica - several yrs too late.

Why? Because FB's cover-up was about to blow open. /2 Image
I'm going to use this thread to try to capture all of the misleading statements and cover-up efforts by Facebook now that we're three years out, several lawsuits are in deep discovery mode, Facebook antitrust lawsuits are underway and it's a new year so why not? here we go. /3

Smart. State AGs filed amended adtech antitrust suit vs Google. 4 more states signed on. I've read most of it. Text updates from Dec but also added evidence of Google's privacy hypocrisy, doubled-down on the WhatsApp charges Google denied along with Facebook collusion charges. /1
In the Facebook and Google collusion charges summary, there is a mention of Apple that I don't think was there previously. This charges must have attention at DOJ. Apple, of course, has policies limiting data that are now in focus as Facebook attempts to undermine them. /2
YouTube is also now in the complaint as a relevant market. Again, I think this is a new section and likely also why some language shifts from being entirely focused on display as the underlying market rigging charges and anticompetitive conduct crosses into video. /3

beyond lawsuits by every regulator...
do you want to know why I feel so strongly DC lawmakers, staff and advocates went to school on digital the past 3yrs and are now ready to hold Google and Facebook accountable?

Let's play "which lawmaker said it?" just a few days ago... /1
...that covered Google playing all sides of market - buying and selling - sounds a bit like @SenWarren, right?
Naah. Ok here is more... cites Google and Facebook collusion allegations ("cartel" behavior) in the brilliant Google adtech lawsuit...so "which lawmaker said it?" /2
that sounded a bit like @RepJayapal who has quickly become an expert on digital markets. But nope, not her either.
ok, one final hint, this may give it away. antitrust laws unlock capitalism ... competition is critical to the American dream... so "which lawmaker said it?" /3

Patently offensive exchange if you’re a member of Parliament asking Facebook questions. Just weeks ago, this has been going on for 3yrs. They send local policy ppl to deceive deflect Parliaments. It’s why @davidcicilline @RepKenBuck @TishJames @Yost4Ohio work is so important. /1
It’s why it’s necessary for Canada to once again send a summons Zuckerberg as previous chairs have done. @beynate @CharlieAngusNDP @bobzimmermp @DamianCollins @JoStevensLabour /2
Here is more from the same hearing just six weeks ago. Facebook’s policy guy testifies he isn’t familiar with reports about Steve Bannon using Facebook live to call for the assassination of FBI Director and Dr Fauci. /3
