Privacy vs further monopoly. Campaigners have asked competition watchdogs to put a restraining order on the “Privacy Sandbox” system the tech giant Google plans to roll out in an effort to protect user privacy. The new system will replace third-party cookies, which advertisers use to track individuals’ web activity for targeted ads. But, while it would make it better for privacy in terms of some protection from third-party trackers, it would at the same time allow Google to have more of a monopoly on data tracking. The Movement for an Open Web (MOW), which represents advertisers, publishers, and tech businesses, has called on the Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK to issue a restraining order on the rollout of Privacy Sandbox. The MOW cites an admission by Google itself that removing third-party cookies from its Chrome Browser “without an adequate replacement” would cost the world’s top 500 publishers more than 50% of their revenue, some even losing more than 75%. https://reclaimthenet.org/googles-new-privacy-sandbox-market-dominance
