EU Investigates Google's News Search Rankings

The European Commission is investigating Google for potentially lowering news sites visibility in search results, which could harm media companies financially. This probe, under the Digital Markets Act, could result in a fine of up to ten percent of Alphabets annual worldwide earnings if Google is found to be breaking the rules. The investigation focuses on Googles site reputation abuse policy, which started in March 2024, and its potential impact on established news companies revenue.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
