It is also an interesting question to ask, why Microsoft with Bing search and ads platform does not vigorously compete with Google worldwide, but keeping a stable position in the US.

Anyways the accusation from the article is shocking. But it may also explain why Facebook at some point stopped expansion of third site ads to only visitors that logged in into an app on such sites rather than chasings all users.

Combined with latest articles about how Google supposably considers open web as an opponent for their app system, it is just worrying if the web is still safe with domination of these tech giants.

They may not necessarily hold a great position in China, but they're cleaning up against Google there. ;D

This sounds like Apple. I mean, Google is pro web precisely because it translates positively to their bottom line. Android is a stop gap that is highly effective too. So web or mobile, they are fine.

Would appreciate links to those articles.
