Google loses legal fight over 4.1 billion-euro EU antitrust fine

Google failed to overturn a 4.1 billion-euro antitrust fine imposed by the European Union. The EU General Court upheld the 2018 penalty on July 10, 2024, which was levied for abusing its dominant market position in online search advertising. The court found that Google gave illegal preferential treatment to its own price-comparison shopping service over competitors. Google said it disagreed with the decision and was reviewing options for next steps.
