I think it's called abuse of a dominant position, considering that Google has a quasi-monopoly in search engine in Europe.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a monopoly that isn't state enforced. Their IP, their servers, why shouldn't they enjoy a monopoly? Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It is when you involve the state in creating a monopoly that you have problems. Consumers continue to patronize a business to the point of it being a monopoly because it serves them well. In a free market environment, this cannot be a bad thing.
