Europe’s top court upholds Google’s €4.1 billion antitrust fine: What it means for Big Tech

Europe’s highest court on Thursday upheld a €4.1 billion ($4.67 billion) antitrust fine against Google, bringing an end to one of the European Union’s biggest competition cases against a technology company. The ruling confirms that Google abused the dominant position of its Android mobile operating system to strengthen its own apps and services.

The decision is a major victory for the European Commission and comes as the EU continues its broader crackdown on Big Tech through tougher competition and digital market rules.
