I am curious why would Google be in trouble with antitrust ?

The EU announced antitrust charges against Google a couple of weeks ago [1]. tl;dr - '[T]he company has given an unfair advantage to its own comparison shopping service ...'

No charges were filed and likely never will be. This is merely a list of complaints.

Because they dominate search with their PageRank algorithm, they are a huge email provider, online calendar provider, among other services.

Probably because they provide the best versions of those services. But hey, no good deed goes unpunished.
