德国方面要求谷歌公布搜索算法

在德国针对谷歌发起新一轮攻势之际，谷歌及其他美国互联网企业在欧洲面临压力，焦点是它们在网络市场日益增强的主导地位，以及它们在美国互联网监控丑闻之后处理个人数据的方法。

Brussels took the unprecedented step last week of rejecting Google’s third tentative peace settlement of a case over whether the company exploits its dominant position in search to promote in-house services in areas including shopping, flights and restaurants.

欧盟上周采取空前举措，拒绝了谷歌就一起案件的第三次暂时和解，此案涉及谷歌是否利用其在搜索领域的主导地位推广在购物、航班和餐厅等领域的内部服务。

Mr Maas said: “In the end it relates to how transparent the algorithms are that Google uses to rank its search results. When a search engine has such an impact on economic development, this is an issue we have to address.”

马斯表示：“最终，这关乎谷歌用来创建搜索结果排名的算法有多透明。当一家搜索引擎对于经济发展产生如此重大的影响时，我们必须解决这个问题。”

Google’s algorithm is the “secret sauce recipe” that has enabled it to dominate search. Critics say its formulas are skewed to hurt rivals and want them published to ensure accountability. Google argues that such transparency would hand rivals its business secrets.
