The European Commission has issued two separate fines to Google totalling €890 million following findings of non-compliance with the Digital Markets Act. According to the European Commission, the company was found guilty of self-preferencing its own services within Google Search, resulting in a €460 million penalty.
A further fine of €430 million was imposed due to restrictions Google placed on businesses seeking to direct consumers towards alternative, often cheaper, purchase channels via Google Play. These decisions, announced by the European Commission, address concerns over steering practices and market competition within the digital sector.
