Google versus the EU: Sigh. You can't exploit a contestable monopoly

Re: So....

> Now, are those results biased by design

Yes. The results page is divided up into several sections, separated by rule offs. The first section is related advertising: paying the bills. The next section(s) may be 'in the news' or 'image results' or similar and then there are the general results.

Of course Google advertises its own services alongside other paid adverts.

Your complaint (and the EU one) is like complaining that a commercial TV station shows promotions for its own programs and doesn't show (free) promotions for programs on other stations.
