I hope Google gets split up, that'll probably be the beginning of the end for targeted ads (I would hope)
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.
