and we've actuallyjust seen that, have we not, this week with the competition and markets authority haveng them they've got to sell giphy. but can you unpack that for us? how does a british competition and markets authority tell an american company what to sell? yeah, indeed, it's quite an extraordinary story i in a way because giphy- is a new york—based lossmaking platform that provides gifs. it was bought by meta in may last year. - giphy doesn't really have any activities or employees - in the uk, but the competition and market authority - investigated it, and thought- that there was a case to answer in terms of suppressing competition. _ it thought that it - could limit other people using gifs, it could extract. data if other people did use those gifs and it was also depriving the market - of a potential— competitor to facebook. and so the competition authority has told - meta to dispose of it. and a lot of competition lawyers are fairly astounded _ at that decision. but i think it does - speak to this new mood of interventionism that a lot i of regulators i think would now accept th

data if other people did use those gifs. and it was also depriving| the market of a potential competitor to facebook. and so the competition - and markets authoritye fairly astounded at that decision. . i but i think it does speak to thisl new mood of interventionism that a lot of regulators i think- would now accept that they were asleep at the wheel when facebook bought instagram back in 2012. - and i think they don't want - to repeat the same mistakes again. and isobel asher hamilton, what's your take on that, on a government agency in britain demanding an american company sells another american company? it is entertaining. i think the cma argues they have jurisdiction over decisions like this when they determine that the merged companies together will take up a certain amount of market share and they believe that giphy and meta, facebook together, will take up so much market share in britain that therefore they have the jurisdiction. i'm sure facebook will appeal this. and it's going to drag on for a very, very long time, but it really is entertaining to see the cma come out and try and make meta sell giphy. i'm not sure how it will turn out.

and i think on your show early this year you had the head - the head the competition and markets authoritythe market should be - allowed to run its course and monopolies would . be self—correcting. but i think that mood has- changed, and there is now a far more interventionist mood. and we've actuallyjust seen that, have we not, this week with the competition and markets authority have done with meta, facebook�*s parent company, you know, telling them they've got to sell giphy because they make it, they may guess, but can you unpack that for us? how does a british competition and markets authority tell an american company what to sell? yeah, indeed it's quite an extraordinary story| in a way because giphy- is a new york—based lossmaking platform that provides gifs. it was bought by meta in may last year. - giphy does not really have any activities or employees - in the uk, but the competition and market authority - investigated it, and thought- that there was a case to answer in terms of suppressing competition. _ they thought - that it could limit of competition using gifs, . it could ext

here in the uk, the boss of the competition and markets authority described australia's proposals as te. dr andrea coscelli also described google and facebook�*s dominance of online advertising as "a problem". the western web today is based on free and open access. you don't pay for links. but the price of that freedom is that we leave personal data trails that are monetised by the likes of google and facebook — giant advertising companies. in a rare broadcast interview, the boss of the competition and markets authority said that google's 90% share of the uk's search advertising market is a problem. and then, he turned to facebook. there's a £5.5 billion — according to your own cma figures — £5.5 billion display advertising market in the uk. facebook has more than 50% of that. is that too much? er, yes. why? when companies have too much economic power, that creates a number of distortions, first for competitors, secondly for consumers. some level potentially in terms of the political process as well, in some cases. overnight, australia and facebook reached a compromise over a new law

is the latest to agree to the changes, following a long—running investigation by the competition and markets authority, gaming isjust an enjoyable pastime, for some, it can lead to addiction — which, at its most extreme, can include violent outbursts and a breakdown of family relations. bbc news has gained exclusive access to the uk's only treatment facility for addiction to video games. the bbc�*s technology correspondent marc cieslak has more. having people around, you do feel a degree of embarrassment sometimes for the duration of the visit. he'll be just upstairs gaming all the time and he'll be shouting and cursing. stephen and louise are describing life with their 16—year—old son, who suffers from gaming disorder. those aren't their real names, we're protecting their identities. it's a controversial condition defined by the world health organization by three characteristics — impaired control when gaming, prioritising gaming over other interests, and escalation of gaming, despite negative consequences. the games industry, and some psychologists, question the evidence used to define the disorder.

yesterday the competition and markets authority and the u.k. issued a report highlighting that apple and google's control over app stores can limit him of eight -- innovation and lead to higher prices, none of which is good for users. small businesses develop products for american consumers and many of them advertise on the gatekeepers, facebook, ugo, and amazon. but can they sustain the incentive when amazon or apple knocks off their products and puts their own copycat products in search results? developers are creating useful new apps for consumers but they are sometimes slow to reach users because apple pay takes weeks or months to review them before putting them up. if they want to reach iphone customers they have no choice because there is no other way into the market. once upon a time disruption was a good thing intact, newcomb -- in tech, new companies on the block were proud of changing status quo. now disruption is what they seem to fear. before facebook brought instagram -- but instagram mark zuckerberg wrote in email that if instagra

and a healthy competition in the cattle market. i'm committing to working with representative johnson and others across kansas and the country in addressing any concerns with the program and the cattle market before re-authorization of the program at this time next year. the cattle contract library act will ensure all market participants are paying and receiving a fair price for their goods and sends a clear message to ranchers, farmers, livestock producers that their voices are being heard in congress. i ask my colleagues to support it. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from south dakota. mr. johnson: with that, mr. speaker, i'm happy to be yield to somebody that also has firsthand experience with the true operation of america's farms and ranches, the gentlewoman from illinois's 15th, mrs. miller. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from illinois -- mr. johnson: sorry. i yield three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: three minutes. mrs. miller: thank you. i rise in support of h.r. 5609, the cattle contract library act of 2021. my fellow farmers, farm families, and members of the house agriculture committee know the importance of bringing transparency to the cattl
