EU Slaps Google with $900M Penalty | Tech News

Google just got slapped with a nearly $1 billion fine by the European Commission for abusing its market power in search and the app store — a move that could reshape how tech giants compete in Europe. The EU’s Digital Markets Act demands Google stop favoring its own apps and services, and force app developers to sell outside the Play Store without Google’s cut. While Google claims the penalty is unfair and harms businesses, the EU insists big players like Google must play fair. This isn’t the first time — Google’s been fined billions before — but this latest move signals the EU’s serious commitment to leveling the playing field, especially as trade tensions with the U.S. simmer.
