#Google under pressure to support #userprivacy & turn off 3rd-party #cookies on #Chrome, but doing so in a way that only gives them more control over #userdata. #AdTopics restricts 3rd parties from Chrome users’ data, but G itself retains control over #surveillance #advertising lifecycle—from #datacollection to #adtargeting. G has been under scrutiny for its #anticompetitive practices in Europe, and is also currently on trial in an #antitrust suit against the #usdoj.
