The sentence you quote is referring to antitrust. The laws about using a dominant position to compete unfairly are antitrust laws.

And it is pretty weird. It's really not very analogous to the old Microsoft/IE cases.

(Edit: Obviously, it's an EU case, brought under different laws entirely. There's no particular reason it would or should be analogous, but it does look very odd to US eyes, just because the legal principles are so different.)



It's talking about the use of a dominant position in search to muscle into other markets, not challenging search dominance directly.
