Google escapes a 1.5 billion euros fine in the European Union due to advertising

Google has won a judicial battle with the European Union with a fine of 1.5 billion euros ($ 1.7 billion) focused because of the impediment of participating in the online advertising market, which is partly compensated for the overwhelming defeat that the company caused last week in a separate decision related to the abuse of its monopolistic power. The judges of the European Union’s General Court in Luxembourg supported the subsidiary of the “alphabet” business on the fine imposed in 2019 and pointed out that the regulators made mistakes in their investigations. The European Commission has illegally accused Google as an interim online advertising by competitors such as “Yahoo” and “Microsoft” to post advertisements on third parties. The ruling issued today, Wednesday, is subject to appeal before the Supreme Court of the European Union, the European Court of Justice. This decision comes in the wake of a victory in two judicial battles of the head of the anti -monopolety Margaret Vestegger and her efforts to reduce the hegemony of the Silicon Valley. Last week, it won a victory before the Supreme Court in two cases against “Google” to avoid a $ 2.4 billion euro fine due to the preference of the results of its private products in the research, and against Apple’s attempt to avoid 13 billion euros as tax trial in Ireland. 3 Conflicts between “Google” and the European Union The European Union issue related to the “Google AdSense” service is the last in the trilogy of the judicial dispute associated with the issues that have been characterized by the course of the Vestagram term, which is at the end of ending to a decade. The European Union regulators targeted the role of “Google” as a broker of advertising on the Internet, where the “AdSense for Search” service posted advertising on platforms such as newspapers, blogs and travel sites. When the Brussels Supervisory Authority imposed a fine of 1.49 billion euros on Google in 2019, he said that Google’s contracts with the Internet were prevented from accepting competitive research ads from companies such as “Microsoft” and “Yahoo”. When the user entered an investigation into the ‘Google’ search box on these sites, the ads of these competitors were banned. All the casual contracts were dropped by 2016, when the European Union increased its investigations. The errors of the European Union despite confirming most arguments of the European Union, the judges on Wednesday said that the regulators erred in their evaluation of the period of the items undergoing anti -monopoly. During a trial of the General Court of the European Union in 2022, Google’s attorneys accused the European Union’s penalty of 2019 of representing a ‘very large criminal fine’. Google issues against the European Union have formed the focus of Vesgar’s efforts to reduce the escalation of the influence of major technology companies. So far, fines have been imposed on the company of “Alphabet” more than 8 billion euros, and have also raised a fourth case related to “Google” business in the field of advertising technology, pointing out that the company may need to be taken apart to address the concern of the monopoly. The final decision in these investigations is still pending.
