The European Union launched a full-frontal attack on Internet king Google yesterday, formally opening an antitrust probe after rivals accused the Silicon Valley giant of rigging the online search market.
European Union competition watchdogs announced their investigation, after smaller companies accused Google of "unfavourable treatment" of their services in both unpaid and sponsored search results.
