Google Proposes Search Changes Amid EU Antitrust Pressure
Google has offered to modify its search results in response to mounting criticism from rivals and to avoid further penalties from the European Union. The tech giant faces antitrust charges for allegedly favoring its own services, such as Google Shopping and Google Flights, over competitors. A revised proposal will be presented during a Brussels workshop next week.
The EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) has intensified scrutiny on Big Tech, mandating fair competition and consumer choice. Google's latest proposal includes a dedicated box for vertical search services, linking to specialized platforms for travel, dining, and transportation. This MOVE aims to address regulatory concerns while maintaining its market position.
