Most of the rampant chaos of Big Tech happened under the Obama Administration (with the Silicon Valley to DC pipeline), but this is one thing that can be blamed squarely on the Bush Admin.

Google should NEVER have been allowed to buy Doubleclick, and the conflict of interest between search engines and ad networks should have been clearly called out and thus the markets kept distinct.

The internet (and world) would be a lot different now if that'd happened.
