Abstract

Zusammenfassung Suchmaschinen ermöglichen Nutzern einen schnellen Zugang zu Informationen, die sie konkret suchen oder dort erst entdecken. Sie haben sich zu wichtigen Informationsintermediären entwickelt. In der breit geführten Debatte über eine mögliche Regulierung von Suchmaschinen sprechen sich die Autoren gegen eine Ex-ante-Regulierung aus. Das Wettbewerbsrecht reiche aus, um vor marktbezogenen Formen des Missbrauchs von „Informationsmacht“ zu schützen. Es sollte aber über neue Methoden zur Ermittlung des Missbrauchs von Marktmacht nachgedacht werden. Die regulierende Funktion, die Suchmaschinen mit Blick auf den Schutz des Allgemeinen Persönlichkeitsrechts auf ihrer Plattform wahrzunehmen haben, rechtfertigt es aus Sicht der Autoren nicht, Suchmaschinen zu einem neuen „regulierten Sektor“ zu erklären.
