Margrethe Vestager omtaler Google for Jobs
"The Google search engine dominates the market for web searches in every country in the single market. And that’s not the only area where Google is powerful. Some 80% of the world’s smartphones and tablets use Google’s Android operating system, which dominates the market for operating systems that other phone makers can use."
"All these markets are vital to our digital economy. In all of these markets, Google used its power to undermine competition, and keep out innovation. And dealing with these markets has also brought us face to face with the most fundamental questions which digitisation raises."
"For instance, many platform businesses act as both player and referee – they run a platform, and also compete with other companies that rely on that platform. There’s an obvious conflict of interest here, an obvious temptation to adjust the way the platform works, to favour their own services ahead of others."
"That’s what Google did, when it used the power of its search engine to favour its own comparison shopping service. By doing that, it harmed competition and consumers – which is why we fined the company nearly two and a half billion euros, for breaking the competition rules. And we’re looking right now at whether the same thing may have happened with other parts of Google’s business – like the job search business known as Google for Jobs."
