@somo and #DigitalMergersWatch have created a comprehensive, publicly available database of #mergers and #acquisitions by #BigTech. π
Their data shows that Big Tech has acquired at least 191 companies globally between 2019 and 2025: on average, one every eleven days. π° Only two mergers have been blocked by authorities.
Nearly 67% of acquired companies shut down their own websites post-acquisition and sometimes stopped serving customers entirely.
