Pinwan, July 14, according to CCTV news reports, the Italian competition and market authority, the Italian anti-monopoly agency, announced that it has begun an investigation into Google for abusing its dominant market position to restrict data interconnection between platforms.
The Competition and Markets Authority believes that Google has a dominant position in multiple markets, access to large amounts of personal data through services such as Google Mail, Maps, Android and other services, with a turnover of $257.6 billion in 2021. Google’s abuse of its market dominance violates Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and Article 20 of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, preventing consumers from benefiting from the use of its platform data and restricting other Italian operators How personal data is used.
In response, Google said that for nearly a decade, Google has provided people with services to extract and transmit data. Companies already have ways to increase the direct portability of data in their services, such as through open source data transfer projects, in which any organization can participate.
