Android News: EU Commissioner denies any personal grudge against Google

Google is in the middle of an antitrust battle with the European Union, and the lawsuit has the potential to cost the company billions. It’s not a giant leap to assume the EU has a vendetta against Google for some reason, especially when other major government agencies like the FTC in the US have dismissed all of their antitrust investigations against the search engine, but the EU commissioner says that’s simply not the case.

Margrethe Vestager, competition commissioner of the European Union, says that she personally has no grudge against Google. She’s only interested in pursuing the company over their purported consumer domination.

On the subject of how regulations would be similar in other countries, Vestager said she wants to strengthen ties with other agencies to keep similar regulations in place so no one country would favor its own companies. Depending on how this ruling pans out, though, the US and Europe may have different stances on Google’s search engine tactics.
