Oh no the poor corporations are struggling to show me ads. Whatever shall I do.
I'd like to see Google kicked out of Australia on national security grounds. But I don't think them being better at advertising than everyone else is a reason.
The report finds that Google has used its position to preference its own services and shield them from competition. For example, Google prevents rival ad tech services from accessing ads on YouTube, providing its own ad tech services with an important advantage.
It's hardly news that Google does that stuff, but unlike showing ads it's actually illegal, and therefore reasonable grounds for regulatory action.
So? Why are my tax dollars being wasted on efforts to force Google to show random ads for poor quality services on YouTube? The people who care should waste their own money on this fools errand.
I don't particularly want to see any ads. If Google does their own thing that is cool.

I believe you make too strong of an assumption of Australian sovereignty and independence relative to the US. Australia is too subservient to the US to declare a national security interest that contradicts the commercial interests of a key US corporation like Google.
No, if anything, the direction is the opposite one with the AUKUS military alliance against China. Australia will take nuclear subs plus Google dominance. ... unless some kind of radical political change takes place down under. IIANM, Australia doesn't have a single strong anti-Imperialist political party at the federal level.
