Amazing projection in yelling hypocrisy with views like yours.
QuoteShatura power station in Moscow region was hit overnight, igniting transformers at the 1500 MW facility with locals reporting at least six strikes.
Ukrainian OSINT researcher CyberBoroshno assessed damage at approximately 820 MW, with strikes hitting two transformers at 210 MW units and a gas distribution station feeding a 400 MW German-built unit.
QuoteRussia's Central Bank has for the first time begun selling physical gold from its reserves as part of Finance Ministry operations to fund the state budget, the Bank said on Wednesday.
QuoteAnd almost all of those ads also flow through other servers (Meta, X, etc) plus ads on those servers that don't appear on Google servers. Ads are not discrete objects. Having an ad on a server places no limit on the ad's appearance on other servers.I don't think thats true. I can't think when a site would be using Google's tools and meta's at the same time - incidentally IIRC more evidence for the monopoly point, meta stopped supporting their google ad competitor a few years back as it just wasn't profitable.

It's breaking up the front end that usually gets the attention but it is the back end that is absolutely the problem.
It is heavily reliant on the front end however so say forcing Google to sell youtube for example would damage the actual ad monopoly.
HVCs figures sound like what I've seen for what Google actually owns.
The actual ads on Google, on the space that it owns directly, is only a small part of its operations and alone wouldn't be an issue.
I didn't mean anything by focus. I was asking you what you meant.
I'm starting to get the impression that y'all are talking about the stuff in Hillary's link when you talk about "monopoly in advertising." Am I right? Ad exchange and publisher ad server (whatever that means).
