Edith Hancock, The Wall Street Journal 1 min Read 10 Oct 2025, 04:25 pm IST Google will have to follow a custom set of rules that apply to its popular platforms. Summary The regulator has described Google as a business that he has to watch closely as a result of its ubiquitous search engine and profitable search-advertising business. The United Kingdom’s competition-Handhawer has labeled Google of Alphabet as a company as a company that it must be closely watched as a result of its ubiquitous search engine and profitable search advertising business. This is the first time the Competition and Markets Authority has completed an investigation to class a technical giant as a business with the so -called strategic market status under the new digital markets, competition and consumer law. The law aims to combat Big Tech’s dominance of the market and to benefit businesses that rely on their search engines and app stores to make money. Under IT, companies like Google will have to follow a custom set of rules that apply to their popular platforms. The CMA started investigating Google under its new rulebook in January. The regulator can terminate companies up to 10% of their annual global turnover for the legislation. The CMA said on Friday that Google has significant and entrenched market power in general search and search ads. It is said that Google’s Gemini AI Chat assistant will not fall under the scope of the decision, but that Google’s other AI-based search functions such as AI reviews and AI mode. The regulator must now work on a set of interventions for Google’s search business. “Many of the ideas for interventions raised in this process would impede British innovation and growth, which may delay product launch in a time of in-depth AI-based innovation,” Google’s senior director of the Oliver Bethell competition said.
