EU Court Adviser Recommends Upholding Google's $2.7 Billion Antitrust Fine
TL;DR Summary
An adviser to Europe's top court recommended upholding the 2.42-billion-euro ($2.7 billion) EU antitrust fine against Google for favoring its own price comparison shopping service, potentially dealing a blow to the tech giant. The European Commission imposed the fine in 2017, and the advocate general at the Court of Justice of the European Union suggested that judges should confirm the fine. Google has challenged the ruling and stated it would review the opinion while continuing to invest in its remedy. EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager is set to meet with Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and other Big Tech leaders to discuss competition and digital issues.
