The European Commission is launching an investigation into Google based on suspicions that the company is deliberately choosing to give certain media companies a lower priority in searches.

According to Google, these are companies whose sites contain material from commercial partners.

The European Commission estimates that the review should be completed within a year, which could potentially mean fining Google.

The company also writes in a blog post on its corporate website that the review is "misdirected" and "risks harming millions of European users."

Google also highlights that the issue has been raised in a German court, which dismissed the allegations.
