A European tech company, Tuta, has lodged a complaint with EU regulators regarding Google's alleged practice of de-ranking its services in search results. Tuta, a competitor to Google's email service, claims that Google's actions are anti-competitive and hinder fair competition in the market.
The complaint filed by Tuta highlights concerns over Google's dominant position in the online search market and its ability to influence user behavior by manipulating search rankings. Tuta argues that Google's de-ranking of its services has resulted in a significant loss of visibility and traffic, impacting its ability to compete effectively.
