THE EU WANTS TO BREAK UP GOOGLE
The European Union is planning its most aggressive move yet to curb Google's growing power.
This just in from the FT, more to come ...
The European parliament is poised to call for a break-up of Google, in one of the most brazen assaults so far on the technology group's power.
The gambit increases the political pressure on the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, to take a tougher line on Google, either in its antitrust investigation into the company or through the introduction of laws to curb its reach.
A draft motion seen by the Financial Times says that "unbundling [of] search engines from other commercial services" should be considered as a potential solution to Google's dominance. It has the backing of the parliament's two main political blocs, the European People's Party and the Socialists.
