This fine is moronic on so many levels I'm just cringing in disbelief:
Google search engine is not a public service - they don't owe anything to anyone, they are free to show whichever results they want to and deem necessary.
Google is not the only search engine in the world - there's Bing, Yahoo and others. How on earth can they abuse their "monopolistic" position if there's none?
Google is not selling you their search engine - it's provided basically free of charge (sans ads you may or may not click).
since when has a dominant position been dependent in the US or Europe on being a public service? Google do owe something to their customers (which is NOT YOU), it is the people they sell advertising too, you are merely their product and irrelevant to the discussion. Those buying advertising have a right not to be abused by someone that has a near monopoly on the market to the point where they have no choice to use them if they want effective advertising.
