EC: fines Google €4.34 billion for illegal practices regarding Android mobile devices to strengthen dominance of Google’s search engine
Brussels, 18 July 2018
The European Commission has fined Google €4.34 billion for breaching EU antitrust rules.
Since 2011, Google has imposed illegal restrictions on Android device manufacturers and mobile network operators to cement its dominant position in general internet search.
Google must now bring the conduct effectively to an end within 90 days or face penalty payments of up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover of Alphabet, Google’s parent company.
