EU Court of Justice dismisses Google appeal, upholding €4.1B Android fine

TL;DR
Europe’s Court of Justice has dismissed Google’s appeal, confirming the 2018 ruling that fined the company for bundling its Search and Chrome with Android. The final penalty stands at about €4.1 billion ($4.7B), down from an initial €4.34B, with no further avenues for appeal. The case highlights the EU’s scrutiny of Android’s licensing practices, while regulators also eye the Digital Markets Act to push open access and data-sharing across platforms.
