EU Fines Google 890 Million Euros for Digital Markets Act Violations on July 23

On July 23, the European Commission fined Alphabet's Google 890 million euros (approximately $1 billion) for breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA), citing unfair preferential treatment of its own search services and restrictions on third-party developers. Google was penalized 460 million euros for search service violations and 430 million euros for Play Store violations. The Commission found that Google unfairly prioritized its own shopping, hotel, flight, and sports services in search results, preventing third-party competitors from receiving equivalent visibility. Additionally, Google restricted app developers from informing users about lower-priced alternatives outside the Google Play Store. The Commission has given Google 60 days to comply, or face further penalties.
