EU top court upholds record €4.1 billion antitrust fine against Google over Android practices
By
FRANCE 24
Summary
The European Court of Justice has upheld a record €4.1 billion ($4.7 billion) antitrust fine against Google, rejecting the company's appeal against the 2018 penalty imposed by the European Commission. The fine, the largest ever levied by EU antitrust regulators, was for anti-competitive practices related to Google's Android operating system, specifically for using the platform to block rivals. The ruling by the EU's top court confirms the penalty against Google and its parent company Alphabet, and is seen as a boost to Europe's ongoing crackdown on Big Tech.
