Happy to see this and hopefully there are some changes. Right now I'm dealing with a crazy Adsense issue and there is no recourse, no customer support and no alternative.

There is no shortage of other ad platforms. Breaking up Google isn't going to solve your specific issue lol

No but it would stop a single company from accumulating so much power.

How you can argue such things are democratic are beyond me. There is nothing democratic about trillion dollar corporations that can ruin your business for refusing to play their game.

By refusing to send you traffic that you rely upon for revenue? For reasons that likely wouldn’t even come to light in a lawsuit?
