EU Unveils Antitrust Charges Against Google

HeadlineApr 16, 2015

The European Union has unveiled antitrust charges against Google. EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said Google appears to be favoring its own products in web search results.

Margrethe Vestager: “Our investigation so far has shown that when a consumer enters a shopping-related query in Google’s search engine, Google’s comparison shopping product is systematically displayed prominent at the top of the search results. This display is irrespective of whether it is the most relevant response to the query.”

EU regulators have also launched an antitrust investigation into Google’s Android smartphone software.
