Google's 2017 EU fine of $2.7 billion marks the largest penalty ever in antitrust history, driven by claims of favoring its own shopping services in search results. After a series of appeals, Google has ultimately lost and must now face the repercussions.
This week marks a significant point in Google's legal battles as it confronts not only the monumental EU fine but also additional antitrust scrutiny in the US related to its monopoly over online advertising and search.
In the latest twists, judge rulings in August suggested Google's monopoly was over the online search sector, paving the way for potential drastic changes to its operating model as these legal challenges unfold.
Despite the legal troubles, Google continues to innovate, with new features added to YouTube Music and advancements in Android. It appears to be pushing forward even amidst turbulent waters.
