A Republican member named Holly announced at a press conference that he had issued a court summons to Google saying he was concerned about the accuracy of Google's privacy protections and claimed that Google misappropriated competitors' search results and reduced competition Opponent sites rank search results.
Google said it has not yet received the court summons.
Andrea Faville, a spokesman for Google, said in a statement: 'Our existing privacy rules are sufficient to protect our users and will continue to enhance privacy protection in the more complex future.'
As Google's business grows, it has become the leading provider of services such as online search, mobile applications, and advertising technology globally, which has led to continued worldwide investigation but in the past few years The situation, these for Google's survey, the final results vary widely.
Back in 2013, attorney generals in 37 states filed a $ 8 million ticket to Google saying it should be collecting street-level carts that collect Google Maps data to collect unauthorized Wi-Fi data. In the same year, A probe by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission prompted Google to provide advertisers with more flexible terms, but the FTC did not make a bigger antitrust allegation against Google.
The Holly states that the Federal Trade Commission's inaction has set a precedent: "We are going to take concrete action to hold this giants accountable for the benefit of the people of Missouri."
He also pointed out that in June of this year, the EU fined Google 2.7 billion U.S. dollars because Google was prioritizing the results of its shopping service rather than other shopping sites in its search results. Holly said he must take action Because he found signs that Google is using similar tricks in the US By the way, Google is now appealing the EU's fines.
