From the statement (http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-17-1806_en.htm http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-17-1806_en.ht...) > Google has come up with many innovative products and services that have made a difference to our lives. That's a good thing. > But Google's strategy for its comparison shopping service wasn't just about attracting customers. It wasn't just about making its product better than those of its rivals. Instead, Google has abused its market dominance as a search engine by promoting its own comparison shopping service in its search results, and demoting those of competitors. While it’s nuanced, “instead” doesn’t feel like agreeing did a good job at this. Also I’m not arguing Google can design good services, more that they’re proven to abuse their position in documented cases. PS: to get back to classics, I feel like hearing back discussion about how IE4 was way faster than Netscape, and was arguably a better browser. Or that windows was effectively better than the competion and they bribed vendors just to get better numbers. Sure, we could agree on the individual products merits. It still harms the market as a whole, and the customer in the long term.
