Germany Demands Google to Show Their Searching Algorithms

Heiko Mass, Germany’s justice minister, wants Google to open their searching algorithms so the way Google works will be much more transparent. Google has lot of impact on businesses lately, and depending on how businesses are shown in Google’s search results make a major impact in businesses.

With Google dominating online search market with more than 60%, Google has become a standard for online search, and many of Europe countries including Germany feels that Google take this as an advantage and promoting its own brand of services over native services in Europe.

So Germany’s minister believes that Google must expose how it’s searching algorithms works, therefore explaining the search results with high Google service dominance.

Even though Google’s many works are open source, including all famous Android OS, but very important aspects of Google’s primary income generating businesses are closed source and proprietary. Google Search is one of these deeply closed and guarded project. Showing the algorithm to authorities may ended up in technology breach and others copying the algorithms.
