EU Commission Launches Antitrust Probe Against Google

There you go. Finally my lobbying with the European Commission paid off :)
They are opening an antitrust case against Google. About time if you ask me (The same goes for Apple but that’s another story).

“The (European) Commission will investigate whether Google has abused a dominant market position in online search by allegedly lowering the ranking of unpaid search results of competing services,” the EU executive said in a statement.

“The Commission said it would also look into allegations that Google sets exclusivity obligations on advertising partners, preventing them from placing certain types of competing ads on their websites, as well as on computer and software vendors, with the aim of shutting out competing search tools.”
