That's not what the article is saying.
The report finds that Google has used its position to preference its own services and shield them from competition. For example, Google prevents rival ad tech services from accessing ads on YouTube, providing its own ad tech services with an important advantage.
It's hardly news that Google does that stuff, but unlike showing ads it's actually illegal, and therefore reasonable grounds for regulatory action.
- roenxi 5y agoSo? Why are my tax dollars being wasted on efforts to force Google to show random ads for poor quality services on YouTube? The people who care should waste their own money on this fools errand. I don't particularly want to see any ads. If Google does their own thing that is cool. > ...but unlike showing ads it's actually illegal... The law is stupid and they should change it.
