Google could be forced to change UK search as watchdog takes steps.

The UK's competition regulator, the Competition and Market Authority (CMA), recently obtained new decision-making powers and promptly applied them in an in-depth investigation concerning Internet giant Google and its undoubted dominance over search within the vast online world. According to what was discovered through the investigation, Google handles more than 90 percent of the searches conducted in the United Kingdom.

During the past week, the CMA announced that it will further investigate the subject in question, wanting to find out whether Google is acting maliciously, blocking market access to prospects or collecting consumer data without informed consent. The project in question will unfold over nine months, and could force the tech giant to make public the massive amounts of data it collects every day.

Across the pond, meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing anti-regulatory conduct, recently supported by Mark Zuckerberg in an attack on the EU. Indeed, the Meta founder said that Europe is introducing “more and more laws that institutionalize censorship and make it difficult to build anything innovative.”
