I’m not sure how much sense this makes for European citizens. What the commission wants is that Google should direct more users to European competitors rather than its own services. For example regarding price comparison sites. The major German competitor is Idealo, owned by right-wing media empire Axel Springer. Some of this seems to be only about serving the interests of our European oligarchs.
