Google is blocking YouTube on Amazon’s Echo Show and Fire TV: Lack of commercial reciprocity makes digital networks act like wired networks and restrict access. You have (or strongly should!) already consider two different networks for your digital advertising: Google and Facebook. I’m risking to say with almost equal budgets. There is nothing wrong with that, other than higher management…

Facebook and Google Automatic Form Filling
