Google Faces New EU Investigation Over News Rankings

The European Commission is launching a new investigation into Googles Alphabet, focusing on how Google ranks news outlets in its search results. This probe, under the Digital Markets Act, will examine allegations that Google demotes publishers featuring sponsored content, a crucial part of many news publishers business models. Google is already facing several DMA investigations, including probes into search engine favoritism and app store restrictions. This new inquiry comes after a substantial fine of nearly three billion euros for Googles search advertising practices, highlighting the global impact of these regulatory actions.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
