"Stifling Innovation and Eroding Consumer Choice
Search engines are the undisputed gateway to the internet, and Google, with a 90% share of the search market in the UK and 72% in the US, wields unprecedented economic power. Google’s own revenues last year exceeded $21 billion, but this pales next to the hundreds of billions of dollars of other companies’ revenues that Google controls indirectly through its search results and AdWord listings. Recently, it seems that Google has started quietly exercising this control in ways that can suppress competition, stifle innovation, and erode consumer choice."
