Stan Schroeder says, “The European Parliament voted on Thursday in favor of a resolution that would see search engines being “unbundled” from their other commercial services.

The resolution, which was approved by 384 votes to 174 (with 56 abstentions), focuses on the online search market and its “particular importance in ensuring competitive conditions within the digital single market.” In other words, unbundling would safeguard against Google and other search engines favoring their own services in search results.

The parliament called on the European Commission to “consider proposals with the aim of unbundling search engines from other commercial services.””.
