Europe’s top court dismisses Google’s legal bid to overturn a record antitrust penalty imposed by the European Commission over Android practices. Multiple outlets report that the European Commission fined Google in 2018 for abusing its mobile operating system’s dominance by imposing conditions on manufacturers that effectively required them to pre-install Google apps and services. After Google sought to challenge the fine through the EU courts, reporters say the case progressed to the EU’s highest court, which now upholds the lower-court outcome and leaves the penalty in place. Sources cite different dollar and euro figures but describe the same dispute and decision, generally placing the fine around €4.1 billion (reported as about $4.7 billion in some coverage). The decision is presented as significant for the EU’s wider approach to Big Tech regulation, with at least one outlet noting it could strengthen the bloc’s enforcement efforts. Separate reporting also includes references to Google’s request for support from the court, which was not granted, and that the appeal is dismissed.
