Google could face a $9bn EU fine for rigging search results in its favour | The Independent

'The EU competition authority accused Google in April 2015 of distorting internet search results to favour its shopping service, harming both rivals and consumers. ', "The European Commission's decision will come after a seven-year investigation into the world's most popular internet search engine was triggered by scores of complaints from both US and European rivals."

'The platform allows Google to act as an intermediary for websites such as online retailers, telecoms operators or newspapers. '

'The US company has in the past rejected the charges, saying that regulators ignored competition from online retailers Amazon and eBay. '

'The company has also been charged with using its Android mobile operating system to squeeze out rivals and with blocking competitors in online search advertising related to its “AdSense for Search” platform. '
