UK regulator enforces new competition requirements on Google search

KUALA LUMPUR: The Trump administration on Tuesday proposed imposing additional duties of 10 per cent or 12.5 per cent on imports from 60 economies after determining their failures to curb trade in goods made with forced labour are unreasonable and restrict US commerce.

REUTERS/Carlos Jasso/File Photo June 3 - Britain's competition ⁠regulator said on Wednesday it has imposed new ⁠conduct requirements on Google's search services, including allowing publishers ‌to opt out of training the U.S. tech giant's AI models, as the watchdog ramps up its oversight.

The Competition and Markets Authority has flagged ​concerns about Google's dominance in search services. Google ⁠accounts for more than ⁠90% of UK queries, and the regulator had been consulting on ⁠the ‌matter to ensure effective competition. The CMA on Wednesday said the requirements imposed on Google under the ⁠digital markets competition regime gave"publishers more control and ​stronger bargaining power ‌over the use of their content," while securing a ⁠fair deal.

The regulator said that the company will now also be required ⁠to make sure content from publishers, ​including news organisations, is properly attributed in AI‑generated search results, using clear links. Google's search services have fallen into regulatory scrutiny across ⁠the world, including in the United States and European Union, and the company in March said it was developing new search controls to address British competition concerns.

"Google has recently announced ​changes to its search business and ⁠the requirements we've introduced today are designed to respond to what ​Google is doing now and in ‌the future," CMA Chief Executive Sarah ​Cardell said in a statement.
