Google Loses EU Gambling Ad Case | Bermuda News

Google just got smacked down by the EU’s top court after losing a major legal battle over gambling ads on YouTube. Italy slapped them with a $854K fine in 2022, which Google tried to dodge by claiming they’re just a passive platform. But the CJEU ruled that if you’re actively negotiating deals with creators, you’re not a bystander—you’re in the driver’s seat—and you’re liable. This sets a major precedent: platforms can’t hide behind “we’re just hosting” when they’re profiting from creator partnerships. The Italian court will now decide the final outcome, but this ruling sends a clear message—tech giants can’t escape responsibility just because they’re big.
