Google loses $2.7 billion antitrust fight in EU after seven years

After 7 years, Google has lost its antitrust fight in the EU over Search, with a $2.7 billion fine on the table.

Back in 2017, courts in the EU slapped Google with an unprecedented multi-billion euro fine over anti-competitive practices. Alphabet’s Google on Tuesday lost its fight against a 2.42 billion euro ($2.7 billion) fine levied by EU antitrust regulators seven years ago, one of a trio of hefty fines meted out to the company for various anti-competitive practices. This also comes as Google continues to be hit with additional fines in the EU over anti-trust matters in Android and with its adtech, such as AdSense.
