Google is facing accusations of anti-trust
due to their recent upgrade which gives a boost to the Google Plus
social network in search results. When users perform a search while
logged into Google Plus, especially regarding an individual, results
from the social network will have prominent positions. Twitter's lead
lawyer has spoken out actively against the change. Google spokespersons
have countered the accusations by saying that the changes are part of
their larger goal to personalize searches. The
law in question is the Sherman Antitrust Act which is designed to
prohibit monopoly and maintain fair competition in the market.
Specifically, companies are not allowed to use their dominance in one
field to gain dominance in another. Microsoft was prosecuted under this
act in the 1990's for using their PC dominance to promote their
browser, Internet Explorer. |
