EU Eyes Massive Google Fine

The European Union is preparing to impose a major antitrust fine on Google, with reports suggesting the penalty could reach a high triple-digit million euro amount. The move is part of an ongoing investigation into whether Google violated the EU’s Digital Markets Act by favouring its own services in search results.

The probe, launched in March 2025, focuses on ensuring the tech giant complies with new rules designed to limit the dominance of big technology firms. EU officials said the priority remains securing compliance, though regulators are ready to escalate enforcement if necessary.

Google has argued that changes already made under the DMA have weakened the quality of its search experience in Europe. The company said it is continuing discussions with regulators after earlier proposals reportedly failed to fully address the EU’s concerns.
