Commission fines Google €890 million for breaches of the Digital Markets Act
ec.europa.eu
Today, the European Commission took two decisions finding non-compliance by Google with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) for self-preferencing its own services on Google Search, and for putting in place restrictions on businesses to direct consumers to alternative, often cheaper, purchase channels on Google Play (steering). In this regard, the Commission issued Google a fine of €460 million and a fine of €430 million respectively.

For self-preferencing its own services and for putting in place restrictions on businesses to direct consumers to alternatives.

This is a start. These fines need to escalate for continued inaction.
