EU may hit Google with record-breaking fine for antitrust violations

The European Commission is weighing a major fine against Alphabet over alleged Digital Markets Act breaches by Google.

Preliminary findings say Google Search favored Google services and Google Play restricted app developers from steering users elsewhere.

Google has been asked to improve its proposals, but sources say the response is still insufficient.

A decision could come before the Commission’s summer recess, and a record penalty would signal tougher EU enforcement on Big Tech.
