> Consider the DMA’s impact on Europe’s tourism industry. The DMA requires Google Search to stop showing useful travel results that link directly to airline and hotel sites, and instead show links to intermediary websites that charge for inclusion. This raises prices for consumers, reduces traffic to businesses, and makes it harder for people to quickly find reliable, direct booking information.
That's exactly what "leveling the playing field" means, which the Author also acknowledged in his introduction.
By forcing Google to link to intermediaries, it takes away the power and monopoly of Google and give competitors a chance.
This post is nothing but lobbying for Google and against the DMA with shady and unscrupulous arguments.
