\tThe European Commission (EC) launched a formal investigation into potential anti-competitive practices by Google, adding to growing regulatory pressure on the search giant.<\/p>\n

Central to the probe is establishing if Google favours its own online display advertising technology by restricting third-party access to user data.<\/p>\n

EC EVP and Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager (pictured) explained Google is \u201cpresent at almost all levels of the supply chain for online display advertising\u201d.<\/p>\n

As the world\u2019s largest search engine, Google collects data advertisers use to target potential customers. It also runs several platforms used to sell and place online ads, and sells advertising on its own websites.<\/p>\n

The EC explained Google has access to data about user identity and\/or behaviour which is unavailable to other online publishers and advertisers. In added the company requires competitors to use its technology to purchase and display ads.<\/p>\n

It placed the value of Europe\u2019s online display advertising market at \u20ac20 billion in 2019.<\/p>\n

The EC investigation follows a capitulation by Google to the regulator earlier this month, with the company pledging to level the playing field [1] for competitors by displaying a list of top search engines on the home screens of new Android devices.<\/p>\n

Google is also under investigation by Germany\u2019s Federal Cartel Office as part of broader scrutiny also involving Apple [2], Amazon and Facebook.<\/p>\n

The search giant recently said it will withhold certain information from third parties when Android users opt out of personalised advertising. The EC wants to understand how this will impact competition and how it can ensure \u201call market participants protect user privacy in the same manner\u201d.<\/p>\n
