Germany's Federal Cartel Office, the Bundeskartellamt, issued a statement of objections against Google's data processing terms. The competition regulator said users are not given "sufficient choice" on the processing of their data across Google services and the company must incorporate new competition rules for large digital companies. "Due to its established access to relevant data gathered from a large number of different services, Google enjoys a strategic advantage over other companies," President Andreas Mundt said.
