Google says working with UK’s CMA on ‘fair’ digital market rules

Google said in a blog post that the company is working with the UK’s CMA to ensure new digital market rules promote fairness and choice while protecting user experience. “Google builds tools and services that help people and businesses across the UK every day. That reality guides our engagement with the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority on its proposals for new digital market rules. We support the CMA’s goals of ensuring fairness and promoting publisher choice and control,” and offered some ideas on how new digital rules can best serve the British public, including keeping search results “free and fair” and giving publishers “even greater control.” “We will continue to work constructively with the CMA to find practical solutions that benefit users, publishers, and businesses across the UK,” Google said.
