Discussion of EU's charges on Google.

1. EU ACCUSES
GOOGLE OF
HURTING
CONSUMERS
BEN HECKER

2. THE FACTS
The European Union accused Google of cheating customers
by showing Web results that favor their own shopping
services.
The EU Commission has the power to fine companies up to
10% of annual sales which, in Google’s case, would equal
around 6.2 billion euros.
The EU has been notoriously tough on many US companies.

3. ETHICAL QUESTIONS
Does Google have the
right to advertise their
own products?
If Google is advertising
the lowest prices, and it
happens to be their own
products, is that wrong?

4. ETHICAL QUESTIONS
Is the EU actually doing
the right thing, or are they
out to attack every
American company that
has a large market share
in their countries?
