"The search engine giant was slapped a 2.95 billion fine over favoring its own advertising services."
"The European Commission imposed on Friday a fine of 2.95 billion ($3.47 billion) on search engine Google over abusive online advertising practices."
"The company said the fine was "unjustified" and that it would appeal."
On September 5, 2025 the European Commission imposed a 2.95 billion fine on Google for favoring its own advertising services and engaging in abusive online advertising practices. The Commission found that Google advantaged its own ad services in ways that harmed rivals and distorted competition. Google condemned the penalty as unjustified and announced plans to appeal the decision. The company characterized the fine as disproportionate to the conduct cited. Authorities issued the sanction to restore competitive conditions in digital advertising markets and to deter conduct that undermines open competition among ad service providers.
