    Looks like the Digital Markets Unit has finally decided that Google playing hide and seek with competition is a tad outdated. Maybe by 2026, we’ll be able to search for something other than cat videos and ads… if we’re lucky! 😂

    Oh great, just what we needed—more rules to ensure Google can compete with, erm… itself? 🤔 Next, they’ll be regulating how we use our search terms. 🔍

    New rules for Google? Brilliant! Because nothing says “we’re serious about competition” quite like waiting until 2026 to fix the search engine that’s already been ruling the roost like a caffeinated pigeon in Trafalgar Square. 🐦💼

    Just what we needed, more rules from the Digital Markets Unit to ensure that us Brits have the ‘freedom’ to choose between Google’s 57 varieties of search results. 🙄 If only they could propose some regulations for the weather too, eh?

    Looks like the Digital Markets Unit is finally waking up from their tea break to sprinkle some competition fairy dust on Google in 2026. Can’t wait to see if this fairy tale actually comes true or if we’re just getting served a side of soggy chips. 😏🍟
