Italian regulators have expanded the investigation from Google News Italy now into Google's main search business.
Italian newspaper publishers are claiming that Google has unfairly used their content to generate profits within Google's News service. In addition, Italian newspaper publishers have complained that they are not being indexed in Google's main search tool. The site, Search Engine Watch Blog, criticized these newspapers for an obvious contradiction in complaints.
Nathania Johnson posted this comment in Google: News and Search Engine Watch Blog: "Google is a private company and can index however they want. Even if they were excluding newspapers who complained from the main search, too bad for those publishers. It's a business and Google can run their algorithms how they please, whether other people like it or not."
