In a recent announcement, Google stated that they will be phasing out bid strategy enhanced cost-per-click (eCPC) from Google Ads. The company says they will be replacing eCPC with manual CPC starting in October.

Meta is updating business tools, announcing they will be increasing data restrictions as ongoing attempts to prioritize privacy continue. Meta explains the restrictions are set to automatically restrict certain data, including URLs and custom parameters.

If one wasn’t enough, here's another. The DOJ has filed yet ANOTHER lawsuit against Google. The Justice Department says Google has used anticompetitive strategies to unjustly achieve its staggering 91% market share in the digital advertising market.
