Microsoft is suing Google in Europe

Yes, large corporations do not feed bread, let them argue in court. On Habré somehow laid out an interesting infographic about who was suing someone from large companies involved in the mobile business. Probably, if you create a similar illustration not only for the mobile market, but for the IT sector in general, nothing will be visible from the arrows. In any case, everyone here is suing everyone, and is now very actively involved in Microsoft's lawsuits. Earlier, if you remember, this corporation has become the subject of antitrust proceedings in Europe, now Microsoft has turned from an accused into an accuser. The software giant filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the corporation of uncompetitive work in the search advertising market.

At the same time, Microsoft expressed the hope that not only European antimonopoly companies, but also US lawmakers would be interested in Google’s activities. It all started with the fact that several small companies from European advertising agencies filed a lawsuit against Google, who accused the search engine of dishonest work in the field of Internet advertising, or more precisely, of underestimation of search sites that are competing with the Internet giant in Google. .

The campaign against Google in Europe was launched last year, and gradually subsided when a new player, Microsoft, entered the business. Naturally, Microsoft made not one, but several charges at once, claiming that Google is not working honestly, using illegal tricks in the field of Internet search, Internet advertising and mobile software. Microsoft, according to the lawsuit, also believes that Google lowers competing networks in its output, and besides, it is argued that under Android it is very inconvenient to work with other search engines, since this mobile OS is ideally combined only with the Google search engine.

Microsoft also accuses Google of the fact that for its YouTube service, the corporation uses technologies that prevent Bing from other search services from indexing content from this service. In addition, it is argued that Google creates problems for mobile software from Microsoft, with which it is quite problematic to view video from the service. Plus, Microsoft remembered the Google Books project, which is going through hard times, both in Europe and in the USA.

In general, the lawsuit brings together a fairly large number of charges, for which Google will now have to defend.
