flag UK makes Google a regulated "strategic market" entity due to its 90% search dominance, enabling new competition rules.

flag The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has designated Google as a "strategic market status" entity due to its dominant 90% share of UK online searches, marking the first use of new digital market rules. flag The move, not a finding of wrongdoing, enables the CMA to impose targeted regulations to promote competition, transparency, and innovation, potentially including user choice for search engines and changes to AI-powered search features like AI Overviews and AI Mode. flag Google warns such rules could hinder AI development, while the CMA plans a consultation later this year to finalize specific requirements. flag The decision aligns with global efforts to rein in Big Tech, following similar actions in the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil.
