Interactive Advertising Bureau Warns Senate Bill Could Be Destructive To Competitive Ad Market, U.S. Economy

NEW YORK – May 19, 2022 – Interactive Advertising Bureau CEO David Cohen released the following response to the Competition and Transparency in Digital Advertising Act introduced today in the U.S. Senate, which would bar digital advertising companies from providing both ad-buying and ad-selling technology, as well as online exchanges facilitating those transactions:

“This legislation is intended to punish a few companies, but the effects would reverberate across the digital economy, affecting advertisers large and small as well as the American public.  The unintended consequences would be devastating to one of the most powerful growth engines of the U.S. economy. The market would lose the scale and precision the internet offers, ad costs would rise, and growth opportunities for brands and publishers would disappear. Small businesses and content creators across the country wouldn’t exist without integrated technologies helping them to attract and retain customers, providing them with products and services. Vital tools that we take for granted like email, search and navigation create value for millions of U.S. consumers every day and are under threat with this proposal.

“The bill also ignores one of the fastest-growing, competitive sectors of the market where media distribution, retail media networks and other companies offer ad-buying and selling services. It threatens investment pouring into these new technologies, including streaming video, and would reverse decades of effort to simplify and streamline the digital supply chain to save Americans time and money. Before dismantling online infrastructure that supports almost every other industry, Congress needs to consider the consequences not only for the advertising industry, but also the U.S. economy.”
