On November 13, the European Commission announced the launch of an evaluation procedure to verify whether Google adheres to the principles of fairness, reasonableness, and non-discrimination when providing access conditions to publisher websites in its search services, in order to fulfill its obligations under the Digital Markets Act. Monitoring has revealed that Google, in accordance with its 'Website Reputation Abuse Policy,' has downgraded the rankings of news media and other publisher websites in search results, particularly when these sites contain content from commercial partners. Google claims that this move aims to combat behavior suspected of manipulating search result rankings.
