EU fines Google $1 billion over its search and Play Store
European Union regulators fined Google €890 million last Thursday, saying the company broke the bloc’s digital competition law.
The penalty, worth about $1 billion, closes two investigations the European Commission opened in March 2024. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, takes in roughly that much revenue in a day.

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social I do not understand when did we got to a point in giving big companies fines that they can recuperate in day while fining people for small law violations at least 10% of their monthly income. And we don't even know how the money will be used by the EU.

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social What about considering Big Tech as a terrorist and extremist organization? Russia has done that and Google owes them way more than to the EU.
