FAS OF RUSSIA INTENDS TO RESTRAIN ABUSE OF YOUTUBE IN THE MARKET
The Federal Antimonopoly Service has initiated proceedings against the American corporation Google. According to the department, the video hosting YouTube, which is part of the company, can abuse its dominant position.

The predecessor of these events was a statement by a Russian public organization containing information about the sudden blocking of not only content, but also the accounts of video hosting users.

At the moment, the department has already established that a number of rules applied by YouTube cannot boast of transparency and predictability.

This position is expressed on the official website of the Antimonopoly Service.

It should be noted that Google is not the only company against which the FAS of Russia has initiated a case. A week ago, the same thing happened to the Russian giant Yandex, the claims to which consisted of non-fulfillment of the orders of the antimonopoly authority that had been made earlier.

According to the FAS, the Russian search engine can provide a competitive advantage for its services, which is an unacceptable practice.
