Qwant asks French watchdog to take interim action against Microsoft
Qwant has asked France's antitrust regulator to take action against Microsoft for allegedly driving down the quality of the French search engine's results via Microsoft's Bing platform , people with direct knowledge of the matter said. Qwant, which has historically relied on Microsoft's Bing platform, wants the regulator to take interim action against the US tech giant while investigating its complaint, the sources said. Competition enforcers only take interim action if there is evidence that a company abuses its market power and has caused serious and immediate harm to the complainant. The French competition enforcer and Qwant declined to comment. "This complaint lacks merit. We are fully cooperating with the Autorite's investigation," a Microsoft spokesperson said, referring to the French watchdog. Smaller European search engines typically rely on their bigger rivals' back-end technology to deliver search and news results. Microsoft is a major player in the search-engine syndication sector but its smaller rivals fear the company will discontinue the service to their detriment. Companies risk fines of as much as 10% of their global annual turnover for breaching French antitrust rules .

Qwant, which has historically relied on Microsoft's Bing platform, wants the regulator to take interim action against the U.S. tech giant while investigating its complaint, the sources said. The French regulator has sought feedback from other search engines and will likely decide by September whether to take interim action and also whether to open a formal investigation into Microsoft, one of the people said. Competition enforcers only take interim action if there is evidence that a company abuses its market power and has caused serious and immediate harm to the complainant.

Beachside vacation to jobless in hours: Ex-Microsoft techie shares his painful new chapter
ADVERTISEMENT A serene holiday along the shores of Myrtle Beach quickly turned into an unforgettable moment for a tech specialist whose career at Microsoft came to an unexpected halt. What was meant to be a peaceful break with his family suddenly took a sharp turn when he received an email bearing a subject line marked urgent: 'Business Critical Update: Please Prioritize.' Within mere hours of opening that message, his position at the tech giant was sudden blow left a profound impact. Working at Microsoft had always been the pinnacle of his professional aspirations—a place where he believed he would build a lasting legacy. The brilliance of his colleagues, the projects he contributed to, and the innovation he witnessed daily had profoundly shaped his professional identity. His time at the company molded him not only as an engineer but also as a person, and he carried immense gratitude for that chapter of his timing of the email made the news even harder to process. Seated at a restaurant, surrounded by his wife and their toddler daughter, Millie, he read the email that changed everything. In that moment, a career that he believed would offer stability suddenly vanished. But in the midst of shock, a dormant ambition stirred years, he had quietly admired the offensive security field—an area of cybersecurity focused on testing systems for weaknesses, usually from the perspective of an ethical hacker. He had longed to be part of this community but never made the leap. The unexpected layoff, painful as it was, served as a wake-up call. It forced him to stop waiting and start pursuing the career he had only dreamt he lacked a conventional resume in offensive security—he hadn't collected accolades like vulnerability discoveries, Capture The Flag competition wins, or bug bounty recognitions—he was far from unqualified. With nearly ten years of experience securing Microsoft's platforms like Windows and Azure and deep involvement in developing secure software, he had a strong foundation to build to turn the page, he began actively chronicling his transition into offensive security. He decided to share his journey publicly, drawing from lessons learned during his Microsoft years and offering guidance to others navigating similar personal transformation, born out of professional upheaval, now stands as a shared mission. It is not merely a new chapter for him but an open invitation to others seeking courage, direction, and community in the face of sudden employee Max Renke used to work as a Security Assurance Program Manager at the tech giant.
