FairSearch in travel coalition blasts Google with new site
Jul 19, 2011
The FairSearch Coalition has launched a new site called Searchville with videos, comic strips and other interactive content, as well as a white paper, designed to illustrate what it considers to be “Google’s anti-competitive business practices,” and how they “harm consumers and advertisers and curb innovation in online travel.”
