The European Court of Justice has dismissed Google’s appeal against a record fine imposed by EU antitrust regulators. The fine, which was originally set at €4.34 billion, was later reduced to €4.1 billion by a lower tribunal in 2022.
The case centered on Google’s use of its Android mobile operating system to block rivals. The European Commission had found that Google had abused its dominant position in the market.
The Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed the penalty, stating that Google’s appeal was dismissed. This decision marks a significant victory for the European Commission in its efforts to regulate big tech companies.
