Google and other tech platforms are facing a new challenge in Spain, where Google News reopened last year following an eight-year shutdown.

Spain’s competition authority the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (the CNMC) opened an 18-month disciplinary process against Google in March to look into whether the tech giant is abusing its position of dominance and engaging in anti-competitive practices against news publishers.

Spain is one of several countries where Google and Facebook are currently facing the threat of legislation to force them to pay for news.
