European Union may accuse Google of violating the Digital Markets Act

The European Union will accuse Google of violating the Digital Markets Act, which has been under investigation by the European Union since March last year, according to people familiar with the matter. An investigation is understood to focus on whether Google favors its vertical search engines, such as Google Shopping, Google Flights and Google Hotels, and whether it discriminates against third-party services in its search results. The pending charges by the European Union are related to the issue, the people said. (Reuters)
