“The potential gaps in Google’s compliance with the DMA underscore the need for vigilant regulatory oversight,” said Prabhu Ram, VP of the industry research group at Cybermedia Research. “If substantiated, these allegations could significantly impact competition dynamics in Europe.”
Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst and CEO at Greyhound Research, added that it’s important to note that DMA is wide-ranging, complex, and open to interpretation.
“Hence, whether or not Google is compliant is still up for discussion,” Gogia said. “The fact is that Google has made select changes to encourage fair competition. Still, given the open-to-interpretation nature of this act, there is room for discussion (read allegation) from the competition.”
