Google Fined €2.95 Billion by EU for Unfair Ad PracticesSaralnama

€2.95 billion fine was imposed on Google by the European Union. The EU accused Google of favoring its own advertising services. This is Google's fourth fine in its decade-long battle with EU competition regulators. The European Commission said Google abused its dominant position in adtech from 2014 to today. Google plans to challenge the decision in court. The company has 60 days to inform the EU how it will comply with the order. This fine follows recent penalties in the US (₹3,500 crore) and France (₹2,700 crore) against Google for privacy violations. (Updated 6 Sep 2025, 01:19 IST; source: link)
