No, they're not.

Kinderstart v. Google for one of many examples.

That case had to do with whether page rank itself is anticompetitive. Their page wasn't arbitrary "deranked", the company just didn't like the algorithm. As the judge noted, Kinderstart failed to even identify the market Google was competing with them in. I was responding to the assertions that Google removes pages from their search results without reason or method.
