Google's Search Under Scrutiny
Google's competitors have been complaining about how Google does business to whoever will listen.
Their latest gripe is about how Google influences it's search engine.
Andrew Odlyzk, a University of Minnesota law professor, says that, "Google's core search relies on a pay for priority scheme...which can highlight, favor and omit sites based on who has paid Google the most money".
James Grimmelman, a law professor at the New York Law School, has the opinion that, "...search is an inherently subjective enterprise that makes mockery of attempts to legislate it".
Either way, regulation through legislation is coming to the internet as it has to every other facet of our modern lives.
