The European Union Fine "Google" 3 billion euros because of its "monopolistic practices"
The European Union imposed a fine of about $ 3 billion ($ 3.5 billion) on the company “Google”, which is attached to “alphabet”, and ordered to stop the preference of its advertising technologies services, in a step that threatens to promote tensions with US President Donald Trump. The European Commission said on Friday that “Google” used its dominance by giving its advertising stock exchanges a competitive advantage at the expense of competitors, and that it should end these practices. UNHCR: Freedom means equal opportunities. Theresa Ribera, the competition delegated in the European Union, explained in a statement: “If the markets fail, public institutions must move to prevent dominant players from abusing their power. Real freedom means equal opportunities, where everyone has an authentic choice on equal basis.” The company was quick to promise to appeal. Lee-an-Malholland, vice president of organizational issues in “Google”, said the move “imposes an unjustified fine and is obliged to make changes that will harm thousands of European businesses by making their earnings more difficult.” Judicial decision: “Google” is not obliged to sell the “Chrome” browser. Although “Google” faces an audit to combat monopoly around the world, it happened on breathing this week after an American judge spent that she did not have to dissolve his research activity to address the damage detained by the Ministry of Justice. Google works in digital advertising under a microscope, but Google activities in the field of digital advertising are still threatened in the United States. The Justice Ministry is expected to submit proposals for treatments later Friday before a hearing is scheduled on September 22 about these proposals. The ministry previously suggested that ‘Google’ be forced to sell its “advertising manager” platform to address the alleged risks against the competition. The European Union warned Google in 2023 that it had used its dominance in advertising techniques to harm publishers online. At the time, the Brussels UNHCR said that Google prefers its advertising exchange program over its competitors and strengthened its central role in the chain of digital advertising. Monopoly examinations are chasing “Google” due to a chat robot agreement and the Ribera president, Margaret Vistagger, at the time warned that “compulsory abstraction” of “Google” is the only solution to address these problems. The Danish spent a contract in Brussels, in which “Google” was planted in three different cases more than 8 billion euros, although one of the fines was void and another was reduced by a decision by the European Union judges.
