Or is it for Meta and Alphabet? With all the corporate juggling, are they not working around what their 'core services' are? If 'advertising', despite providing the main revenue, is in fact the 'core service' of another company, how would this affect interoperability for the 'main' (public) service of 'social media' or 'search'? Is this something we should be aware of, wary of, or otherwise worried about when devising any recommendations related to interoperability? == hk
