Together with our coalition members we call upon the German and EU authorities to enforce a level playing field, giving consumers choice and competition a fair chance. This brazen effort of promoting its own services at the expense of competitors and distorting the market in their favor harms the consumer, the wider market and European businesses and threatens the digital sovereignty of countries. And of course, its own services benefit immensely from this, getting shielded from the competition. Microsoft continues to act as a gate keeper, picking the winners and losers. Rapid developments in AI only serve to strengthen the need for oversight, as the Bundeskartellamt itself also points out. Nextcloud welcomes this development, as this is a first step towards investigating the anti-competitive behavior of Microsoft with regards to OneDrive bundling and other gate keeping actions. This has already been established for other tech giants like Meta and Alphabet/Google. March 28, Berlin – After a complaint filed by Nextcloud on behalf of a coalition of dozens of European cloud tech providers in November 2021, the German Bundeskartellamt (federal antitrust authorities) has now begun an official investigation into Microsoft to assess if the company has a dominant position in the market.
