The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering granting Google “strategic market status” in the UK’s search and search advertising sectors. This move aims to regulate Google’s operations due to concerns about its dominant position in the market. Proposed measures include choice screens for users, fair ranking principles, and data portability. The CMA’s investigation highlighted issues like high advertising costs and limited transparency. The new regime seeks to promote competition and protect consumers. Feedback on the proposal is being sought, with a final decision expected by October 2025. Further investigations may follow in 2026.
