Google made a statement about the TL 196 million violation penalty awarded by the Competition Board.
Claiming that it generates revenue not through search results, but through the display of ads, the company said, “Every ad on Google is clearly marked and is different from other search results.” Google noted that they will continue to work with the Competition Authority to clear up misunderstandings.
The full text of Google’s statement is as follows:
“Users expect Google to deliver high-quality search results that they can trust. In line with this expectation of our users, we provide them with the most relevant responses and generate revenue not with search results, but through ad impressions. Each ad on Google is clearly marked and distinguishable from other search results. By maintaining our constructive approach, we will continue to work with the Competition Authority to clear up misunderstandings about how Google’s search service works. “
Following the investigation carried out against Google for “abusing its dominant position in the general search market”, the Competition Board decided to impose an administrative fine of TL 196 million 708 thousand 54.78.
