Google hit with $1 billion EU fine over search, play store breaches — here’s why
Alphabet Inc.’s Google was fined a total of €890 million ($1 billion) by the European Union for violating the bloc’s Digital Markets Act, in a decision that risks further inflaming tensions with US President Donald Trump.
The European Commission said Thursday that Google had unfairly favored its own search services and prevented app developers from steering consumers to offers outside its Play Store.
