Google is fined $1.7 billion in the EU for imposing ad restrictions on third-party sites, its third antitrust penalty from the bloc since 2017
BRUSSELS—The European Union fined Alphabet Inc.’s Google €1.49 billion for abusing the dominance of its search engine to block competitors in the niche market of selling text ads on the search results that appear on third-party websites.
Wednesday’s decision is the last among three sets of formal charges that the European Commission, the bloc’s antitrust regulator, has so far filed against the tech giant, drawing to a close at least one part of the nearly decadelong investigation into the tech giant.
