Google's Proposal to Avoid EU Antitrust Fine
Google has proposed creating a dedicated box for vertical search rivals in its EU search results to avoid a major antitrust fine under the Digital Markets Act.
Facing a looming European Union antitrust fine, Google has offered to significantly alter its search results in its latest bid to appease regulators.
- The tech giant proposed creating a dedicated on-page box for competing vertical search services.
- This concession is a direct response to an investigation under the EU’s powerful Digital Markets Act (DMA).
The move comes as Google battles mounting regulatory pressure and accusations from publishers that its AI content scraping is an intentional attack on the open web.
The EU case, which could result in a massive fine, alleges that Google unfairly favors its own specialized services like Google Shopping and Flights over rivals.
The proposal, submitted on October 14, modifies a previous offer from July that was widely criticized by competitors.
