Submission + - Google Sued by Aussie Competition Watchdog (abc.net.au)
orin writes: The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is taking Google to the Australian Federal Court alleging that the Internet search engine has engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct on the basis that Google doesn't make sponsored advertisements clearly differentiated from normal search results. The ACCC is a government body that has wide ranging powers in Australia and is supposed to promote competition and fair trade in the market place to benefit consumers, business and the Australian community. Google is reported as saying the claims are without merit and will be defended vigorously.
