Google’s and Facebook’s Grip on Digital Advertising Markets

Article | August 2, 2022

Alex Webb: More kids with smartphones spells advertising bonanza

And as the penetration of smartphone usage rises, it creates more opportunity for advertisers to get in front of young eyeballs. Parents need to get clued up if they want to stop that from happening. For now, advertising targeted at children has been slower to migrate online than in the broader industry.
