The General Court agreed with the commission's assessment that Google did block rival advertisers from its platform, but felt the commission failed to consider all relevant circumstances in the fine's duration.
Google stated that this case concerns a narrow subset of text-only search ads on a limited number of publishers' websites, and emphasized changes made to contracts in 2016.
The commission is considering its next steps following the court's annulment of the fine, indicating it may appeal the decision.
This ruling is one of many in Google's ongoing antitrust legal battles within Europe, showcasing the complexities of regulatory enforcement.
