The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) opened a case against the Internet giant Google. The reason was Google’s abuse of its dominant position in the video services market. This is stated in an official press release, which was published on the agency’s website on Monday, April 19.
The case was initiated following a complaint from the regional public organization Center for Internet Technologies (ROCIT) about the sudden blocking and deletion of user accounts and content. FAS experts argue that YouTube’s blocking rules are biased and opaque and infringe on the rights and interests of users. It also leads to limited competition in the market.
FAS in the course of considering the case against Google must assess the actions of the corporation. Also, the department must assess the possible consequences for users and content makers. What punishment awaits the Internet giant if the authorities plead guilty is not specified.
