The Campaign Against Facebook and Google’s Ad “Duopoly” Is Going Nowhere
Alex Kantrowitz, writing for BuzzFeed:
For well over a year now, the digital advertising and publishing industries have grappled with the growing power of Google and Facebook, which suck up 98% of every new ad dollar spent online, according to some estimates.
