Search Results: GoogleAntitrust

The European Commission has fined Google €2.95 billion for anti-competitive ad tech practices, marking its fourth major antitrust penalty against the tech giant. Google must now restructure its advertising operations and faces simultaneous €325M cookie violation fines in France.

A federal judge ruled Google violated antitrust laws by maintaining an illegal search monopoly, but rejected government demands to break up Chrome or Android. Instead, Google faces prohibitions on exclusive default search deals and must share critical search data with rivals—a decision poised to reshape tech competition for years.
