You might make a case for regulation if a) you could show that Google is a monopoly and b) Google used its monopoly power to shut out competition or control market pricing. But, at least in the U.S., the former is not true - a market share of 75% is necessary to establish a per se monopoly - unless the latter is true, and the latter is patently untrue. "Attract a lot of eyeballs" is not, thank goodness, grounds for regulation, or Twitter and Facebook would surely be regulated.
There is no facade. Google search is algorithmically driven, and no one has ever shown that its algorithms discriminate unfairly.
