Top EU court upholds Google Android fine in landmark antitrust case

Europe’s top court upheld a €4.1 billion antitrust fine against Google for Android-related abuses, confirming the European Commission’s finding that Google imposed restrictions on smartphone makers and network operators to protect its Search and Chrome services. The ruling reinforces the Commission’s use of competition law to regulate digital platforms and closes a major antitrust case from former Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager’s tenure.
