The investigation focused on Alphabet's guidance rules in Google's App Store and the self-prioritization of search results on Google's search engine, and suspected that Google's search results unfairly favored its own services; Issues with Apple's App Store boot rules and the default Safari browser, questioning whether Apple may have restricted users' right to choose other browsers; The "pay or agree model" of a "meta" company may not be able to provide a real alternative in cases where users do not consent, etc.
