Google, which was penalized for disrupting the competition by adding its own price comparison module to the search results in our country, is experiencing a similar process in Europe. Comparison platforms took action against Google.
Giant penalty to Google
Google’s promotion of its own comparison modules in Europe was found to be anti-competitive and it was fined $2.8 billion in damages. Swedish price comparison site PriceRunner has filed a comparison lawsuit.
The firm filed a $2.4 billion lawsuit, stating that Google suffered losses due to its monopoly movements. It is stated that the damage is so high because it has occurred over many years. In addition, since the case is still ongoing, this figure will increase even more until the case is completed.
Google is exercising its right of appeal against the decisions and will go up to the highest court in order. In addition, the right to compare to other comparison platforms other than PriceRunner has emerged. In other words, this chain seems to lead to a story of tens of billions of dollars.
