Google's owned Doubleclick for years. I remember Warren Hellman telling me (name drop yes, RIP) how it went down many many years ago.

So only certain companies can hold monopoly in this country. Just the ones the oligarchy likes right?

Your article says Google bought DoubleClick in 2017. This is incorrect. Google bought DoubleClick in 2007.

No shit!!!

Google is way too big of a company and definitely should be broke up they use their Monopoly as a authoritarianism weapon. Any company that owns hardware or software should not be allowed to own an AD company!
