What Is Behind The EU's $4.7 Billion Fine On Google

Europe's highest court has rejected Google's final appeal against a €4.1 billion ($4.7 billion) antitrust penalty, ending the company's legal challenge over its Android business practices, reported by CNBC.

The ruling confirms a lower court's decision that had reduced the original fine imposed by the European Commission in 2018.

Google said Android promotes consumer choice and supports businesses across Europe. The company also noted that it modified its agreements after the Commission's original decision and remains focused on innovation.

The report said the case marks the conclusion of the European Union's long-running competition battle against Google. Regulators are now increasingly relying on newer laws, including the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act, to oversee major technology companies.
