Google to face EC charges on abuse of search market position

2015-04-15 09:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The European Commission is going ahead with charging Google with abuse of its dominant position in the search market, as well as launching a formal investigation into Google's Android operating system. According to the Financial Times, the formal charges over the search market will be presented 15 April, and the Android investigation will be announced at the same time. The initial charge will focus on product searches where Google is accused of harming other shopping sites, but could be extended to other areas. Google confirmed the imminent news in an internal email sent to staff 14 April, a copy of which was obtained by the Financial Times. The company said it has "a very strong case, with especially good arguments when it comes to better services for consumers and increased competition". The Android investigation will reportedly focus on whether Google imposes uncompetitive terms on handset makers that ultimately favour its own apps such as YouTube. Google rejects any allegations of wrongdoing and said Android is an open platform distributed free.

Twitter this week updated its rules to combat online abuse and revenge porn, in the wake of continuing outrage among netizens. The most significant change is a new statement that users may not post intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's consent. Sounds good, but like last month's update, it's more bark than bite.
