One rival of Google-owned YouTube in Europe is slamming the search engine for alleged anticompetitive behavior, calling on the European Commission to finally crack down on Google’s dominance to level the playing field with smaller competitors.
According to reports, YouTube competitor Dailymotion claims that users searching for videos through Google may not see Dailymotion videos in the search results, but alternative video streams hosted by YouTube will appear. Google denies the allegations, but according to Dailymotion head Giuseppe de Martino, “Europe should be aware that the US is ruling the digital world and Europe should react.
De Martino reportedly slammed the Commission for its inaction against Google despite an eight year probe into the company, one that appears to be headed for a settlement – an ending many competitors are unhappy with.
”Nothing has been done for companies like us who are challenging Google’s subsidiaries,” de Martino said.
Dailymotion first launched in 2005 and is owned by telco Orange.
