Clearing the path for innovation
summary
European competition policy explains concrete interventions: Google fined for search bias after elevating its comparison-shopping and demoting rivals to about page four; Microsoft–LinkedIn is reviewed and cleared on data grounds; selective tax rulings target unfair state aid. Offers a striking example of learning by rivalry — a machine‑learning setup where two virtual robots learn sumo after one billion virtual contests. Notes trust numbers: only 1 in 4 Europeans trust online businesses and under 10% trust social‑media information; GDPR personal‑data rules arrive next May.
