A brief reflection: Social media has undeniably become the fifth estate. In contrast to traditional media — which requires licensing and is subjected to foreign ownership restrictions in some countries — social media predominantly operates under self-regulation. This autonomy is likely to continue facing criticism and scrutiny going forward. 🤷♂️ #socialmedia #traditionalmedia #selfregulation

The Public Media Alliance is proud to stand together with others, united by our shared values, in support of the Ottawa Declaration.” — Kristian Porter, CEO, Public Media Alliance Read the Declaration 👇 https://lnkd.in/ejeKi5ad

EU Commission fines Meta (Facebook) almost 800 million EUR under EU dominance rules in view of Facebook Marketplace Hot off the press: In what is likely to be one of the last decisions during the term of Margarethe Vestager as DG Competition Commissioner, the EU Commission fined Meta 797.72 million EUR for the following conduct today. "Tying its online classified ads service Facebook Marketplace to its personal social network Facebook. This means that all Facebook users automatically have access and get regularly exposed to Facebook Marketplace whether they want it or not. The Commission found that competitors of Facebook Marketplace may be foreclosed as the tie gives Facebook Marketplace a substantial distribution advantage which competitors cannot match." and "Unilaterally imposing unfair trading conditions on other online classified ads service providers who advertise on Meta's platforms, in particular on its very popular social networks Facebook and Instagram. This allows Meta to use ads-related data generated by other advertisers for the sole benefit of Facebook Marketplace." Meta has already stated that it will take the EU Commission to Court as Facebook perceives Facebook Marketplace as the innovative (newcomer) competitor wherefore the decision would unjustly protect incumbent market players without any proof for the EU Commissions theory of harm according to which the practices would hinder further competitors to enter the market. So this will be another of the cases to watch whether the novel theories of harm applied by the EU Commission will stand when challenged before the EU Courts. #digitalcompetition #newmarkets #marketplaces #antitrust #Luther https://lnkd.in/er39aYY7 https://lnkd.in/e2sH9gVt
