Gegli news - Does Google hurt local search rivals? E.U. Ask antitrust regulators - 12/1/2018 2:25:04 AM 2:25:04 AM 

Google has been fined € 6.76 billion ($ 7.7 billion) over the past 17 months by European regulators.

 E.U. Anti-hurdle regulators demanded that Google's rivals, if a giant Internet search engine eliminate injustice, eliminates local search competitors, according to a Reuters survey, a move that could lead to a fourth case against the alphabet unit Leads.

Google has penalized $ 6.76 billion ($ 7.7 billion) in the past 17 months, which provides cost-effective purchasing services to use its Android mobile operating system to boost the search engine market power.

The European Commission, which considers the world's most popular search engine to perform these two anti-competitive practices, includes a third case involving Google's Google advertising services.

The interest of the competition authorities in the European Union in local search services followed the complaints of the United States and the Yelp advertising company and rivals in the travel, restaurant and housing sectors.

Last month, he sent his questionnaire to Google's competitors, requesting details of the company's activities and its impact on competition services between January 2012 and December 2017.

Regulators also wanted to know whether rivals affected the major changes to Google's search algorithm, including the introduction of the Panda 4.0 algorithm, to affect the performance of their local services.

This algorithm was introduced in 2014, which appears in Google's search results.

Companies were also asked to introduce Google's local or local box-office to a significant impact on local search services.

The global location is targeted at the hotel's advertising, while a box, with the information and pictures marked in a box, is a tool for local businesses to gain more visibility in Google's search results.

The commission asked whether Google uses content from competing local search services such as checking locally or in a box.

Google did not have any immediate comments
