POLITICO - Brussels Playbook on Facebook, Google regulation

POLITICO - Brussels Playbook: "SHERYL LEANS IN: As part of Facebook’s new PR and policy charm offensive, COO Sheryl Sandberg will meet Commissioners Andrus Ansip, Vĕra Jourová, Dimitris Avramopoulos and Mariya Gabriel today before she heads to Davos. Here’s a headline Facebook probably doesn’t want the commissioners to read before they meet: “Cambodia’s Leader Shut Down Democracy — With A Little Help From Facebook” by Buzzfeed’s Megha Rajagopalan.

 GOOGLE BEWARE: First EU antitrust officials sanctioned Google’s shopping business. Now Yelp wants them to turn their attention to the way the search giant displays results for local queries ranging from restaurants to doctors. In Yelp’s telling, Google caused a significant fall in their traffic and hurt consumers who are not shown the best answer to their queries — resulting in them announcing the closure of their European operation in 2016." 'via Blog this'
