EU Might Place Limit on Keywords

Companies buy Google Adwords for keywords of their rivals, so their own ads show up instead of ads for the search term. These restrictions will put a stop to this strategy.

That's crazy! But I think it would be an effective way to level the playing field between rivals. I wonder if there's a way the US could introduce policy like this, or if Google would ever implement something like this on their own.
