BRUSSELS — Google faces a probe by European Union antitrust regulators for allegedly discriminating against rivals in its search results and for stopping some websites from accepting rival ads.
The European Commission said it’s investigating whether Google’s AdSense contracts prevent publishers from striking deals to place ads from other services on their sites. It will also look at allegations that Google limits advertisers’ ability to move data, such as search terms, from AdWords to its competitors.
There has been separate criticism from French, German and U.K. data-protection regulators over Google’s Street View service, which shows pictures of streets and homes. Bloomberg News
