The European Union supports the imposition of a 2.4 billion euro fine on “Google”

‘Google’ has lost its battle before the European Union Court over the overthrow of a record fine of about 2.4 billion euros ($ 2.6 billion) due to the abuse of its monopolistic situation in breaching the competitive companies working in the field of storage services. The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg supported a historical decision issued in 2017 in which he condemned the giant American technology company, accusing it of using the hegemony on the search engine to give its products a higher ranking. Behind this rule, Margareth Vesagger, who prepares to leave her position as a delegate for anti -monopoly matters in the European Union after two periods in which she held the post. Vestagram has targeted the company “Alphabet”, which was owned by “Google” since office in 2014. One of the first measures she took was to raise and heat the issue that is averted in her and her predecessor. The UNHCR of the European Commission not only made the efforts of the European Commission to combat monopoly to confront the dominance of “Google” in the field of search engines, as the shopping issue was the first round in a trilogy of fines that led to fines of more than 8 billion euros. A “Google” spokeswoman said the company was “disappointed” from the court ruling and that in 2017 addressed the concerns of the European Union, increasing the number of clicks on other shopping services links. Other fines against ‘Google’ after the shopping case, a new standard fine of 4.3 billion euros was imposed on the company in 2018 due to the allegations of strict conditions in contracts, preventing tablets and phones to add competitors’ applications and browsers competing with the Android devices. Less than a year later, the company was fined at a fine of 1.49 billion euros due to the frustration of competitors in the advertising market through exclusive online advertising agreements with its subsidiary “AdSense for Search”. Most importantly, the fourth and final attack on European Union was probably the ‘Google’ activity during the ernera of Aquuba, which can be the most dangerous. The dismantling of “Google” activities The Danish Commissioner warned that the only way to address Google’s dominance in the field of advertising technology is to dissolve the company’s activities in this area – which places the organizational bodies in the European Union on a path similar to the US Department of Justice. Competition control bodies in the European Union hope to permanently reform Google’s behavior through the new comprehensive law that came into effect last year – that is, the Digital Market Act. Among other orders and prohibitions in the law, it forces great technology companies to prefer their own services over their competitors -a commitment inspired by the battle for the block that lasted almost ten years against the giant technology domination over online search activity.
