nsane.forums Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Google's business activities after complaints from three European companies. The companies, which offer services similar to Google's, believe that Google actively demotes their rankings in its search results because they are competitors. Google insists that it's just offering what users want: useful search results. The companies in question are price-comparison site Foundem, a legal search engine called ejustice, and the now-Microsoft-owned Ciao! from Bing. According to a post on Google's own European Public Policy Blog, both Foundem and ejustice argue that Google tries to limit the success of the competition by keeping their search rankings low, and that Google does this on an algorithmic level.
