Google Loses Challenge Against EU Antitrust Decision

Google suffered one of its biggest setbacks when a top European court fined it 4.125 billion euros for using its Android mobile operating system to thwart rivals, offering a precedent for other regulators to ratchet up the pressure. <br />The Unit of U.S. Tech giant alphabet had challenged an earlier ruling, but the decision was broadly upheld by Europe's second-highest court in ruling and the fine was reduced only modestly from 4.34 billion euros. <br />The EU antitrust enforcer has imposed a total of 8.25 billion euros in antitrust fines on the world’s most popular internet search engine in three investigations stretching back more than a decade.
