Barrack Can you be more specific? Are you saying the govt asking companies to sell some of their parts? Or asking big tech specifically?

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has asked Meta (formerly Facebook) to sell the GIF database and search engine Giphy, a company that Meta acquired about a year and a half ago. The competition regulator decided that Facebook’s acquisition of Giphy will “reduce competition” between social media platforms and “that the deal has already removed Giphy as a potential challenger in the display advertising market.”
