    I wouldn’t think thats how they are splitting it up … Basically just affecting market shares of some markets (targeted ads being one of them + the ecosystem pushing you into it).

      I thought chrome, yt, search, gmail/docs, android, etc. would all be separate entities, making them less willing to share data for financial reasons

        Hm, yes, but their entire goal is to expand advertising - more volume is good for all these same alphabet entities, even if they “lose” (not really) something on pricing.

        Also I hope the search engine somehow gets split up too.
