Since then, Google and Facebook, already in hot water for their problems with spreading disinformation, have doubled down by manufacturing some tailor-made disinformation of their own.

Instead, we will focus on the substantive claims made by Google. They are as important for what they omit, as what they purport. Google also claims that it “does not earn meaningful revenues from news.” We will leave it to you to decide what constitutes “meaningful revenues” for a company that earned more than C$200 billion in revenues in 2019, and is setting new revenue records in 2020: raking in almost $60 billion in revenues in the third quarter alone.Article content continued

Google has a monopoly over every step of buying and selling digital advertising. Since 2001, Google has aggressively acquired digital display advertising technology companies that posed any threat. Former competitors have been integrated into its global ecosystem. Google now controls and derives revenue from every aspect of the digital advertising supply chain for publishers and advertisers.

The letter MPs received from Google is part of a stepped-up effort on the tech giant’s part to fight back against what is a growing rejection of its abuse of power in democracies around the world. The alarm we raised in our report has been subsequently echoed in even more recent reports in the United States Senate and the British House of Lords.
