Everyone saw it coming, so it's not a big surprise, but it's still a bit perplexing as it's not just about online search: The European Union is accusing U.S.-based search giant Google of antitrust regulations and is also investigating Google's Android mobile OS.
Wednesday's announcement, long in coming as the EU kicked off its review of Google's business moves five years ago, is a bit confusing given Google clearly move to settle an EU inquiry just last year. However, the EU came back into the picture, based on reported complaints by Google competitors.
As 2014 came to a close, things weren't going well abroad for Google, as one report claimed the European Parliament was trying to break it up.However, obviously, that wasn't going to happen and won't happen. The clear message, though, is that the EU doesn't trust Google. Then again, it doesn't seem to trust Microsoft or any other U.S. tech titan.
The thing is, investigating Google's search business and investigating its support of the Android mobile OS are two very different targets. The EU seems to have a very detailed investigation planned into whether Android is obstructing rivals, obstructing Android competitors and taking steps to stem rivals' apps and services.
