German watchdog says Google agrees to remove Showcase from general searches

Germany’s Federal Cartel Office said Wednesday that Alphabet’s Google has offered to remove News Showcase content from general search results to end a competition investigation into a selection of news items in the product.

The cartel office will now consult with affected news publishers to assess whether Google’s proposal will be effective.

The cartel office announced in June that it was investigating Google’s Showcase product as part of its new powers to regulate Internet companies.
