Australian Regulator Begins Probing Google’s Search Browser Dominance
Following its acrimonious battle with Google and Facebook over media payment laws, the Australian regulator is now targeting the dominance of Google’s search engine and web browser services.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is seeking submissions from stakeholders, including consumers and industry participants, to examine the possibility of mandating “choice screens” in all new smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
Choice screens appear when a user starts up their device and it shows the consumer a list of alternative web browser or search engines to choose from, rather than just the one service already preselected by the manufacturer.
