Oct. 10 (UPI) -- The British competition regulator will seek to better regulate Google search capabilities after the government unleashed new regulatory powers on the search giant.
On Friday, Britain's Competition and Markets Authority confirmed it designated Alphabet-owned Google under a "strategic market status" for Google's advertising and search services.
"Having taken into account the feedback received following our proposed decision, we have today designated Google's search services with strategic market status," according to the authority.
British officials say it gives "substantial and entrenched market power" and a "position of strategic significance" on digital activity in Briths society.
