Thursday, July 2, 2026
Google's final appeal of a 4.7 billion euro fine was rejected by the Court of Justice of the European Union on November 10, 2024. The fine was originally issued in 2018 for practices related to Android operating system licensing and app distribution. Google had appealed the decision multiple times since the initial ruling. The court's decision means Google must pay the full amount to the European Union.
