Social media giant Twitter (TWTR) has recently shown support for the US Senate’s proposed legislation requiring more transparency for running political advertising online. Twitter’s step toward making its platform more secure came after its peer Facebook (FB) became tangled in a data breach controversy.
Twitter (TWTR) currently captures less than 2% of the US digital advertising budget, which eMarketer estimates at $83 billion last year. A recent study by WhoSay shows that 70% of US marketers expect influencer marketing budgets to increase in 2018. Influencers are individuals who have a sway over a large group of potential buyers.
Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently survived a two-day grilling by US Congress. The European Union (or EU) remains unmoved by Zuckerberg’s repentant image and the measures his company is taking to protect users’ data. Recently, Zuckerberg was summoned to testify in front of the EU, according to CNBC.
The people who spend time trying to weed bad actors off Google Maps say the company isn't doing enough to curb spam on its platform.
Amazon (AMZN) has generated investor returns of -9.6% in the last month, 58.2% in the last 12 months, and 1.2% in the last five days. Over the last 12 months, peers eBay (EBAY), PayPal (PYPL), Yelp (YELP), and Yandex (YNDX) have returned 17.2%, 79.2%, 30.9%, and 56.8%, respectively.
The Facebook (FB) data harvesting scandal involving political consultancy Cambridge Analytica could create problems for Amazon (AMZN) and companies such as Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google and Twitter (TWTR), which run data-hungry businesses. Calls for more regulation of Internet companies have intensified after it emerged that Cambridge Analytica obtained private information on more than 50 million Facebook subscribers and went on to use the information to develop a powerful software tool capable of influencing the way people vote in an election. Heavy regulations on how Internet companies gather and use data on their users could deal a blow to Facebook’s, Google’s, and Amazon’s advertising business.
