Facebook, Amazon and Google are the companies most at risk from regulatory crackdown, according to the latest Thematic Scorecard for the advertising sector from GlobalData.

There are ten key areas for regulation: tax avoidance, data privacy, data security, antitrust, tax avoidance, misinformation, online harm, copyright, net neutrality and obstruction of justice.

All three companies gained the lowest score (1 out of 5) in GlobalData’s Thematic Scorecard for the regulation theme in the advertising sector, reflecting their vulnerability to future regulatory action. A Thematic score of 1 indicates that this theme will be highly detrimental to their future performance.
