Will India be able to deal with Google’s adtech monopoly? https://peoplesdispatch.org/2023/08/28/will-india-be-able-to-deal-with-googles-adtech-monopoly/ August 28, 2023 by Praneel Panchagavi

Publishers and advertisers across the world primarily utilize three main adtech services to facilitate their ads: publisher ad servers (to manage ad spaces), ad buying tools (to buy ads), and ad exchanges (wherein the supply and demand converge). Google acquired prominent service providers in these categories, namely; DoubleClick (2008), AdX (2008), and AdMeld (2011) and other nascent competitors, to position itself as a tech giant which could “control and manipulate” selling and buying of digital ads. This merger led to the creation of Google’s own “AdTech stack,” which includes publisher ad server as Google Ad Manager, ad exchange as AdX, and two buying services: DV360 and Google Ads.

The concretization of such power was pursued through various contentious tactics such as prioritization of Google’s own transactions through ad-exchange, and pressurizing news outlets into adopting alternative webpage format.
