EU hits Google with 2.95 billion euro fine over abusive online advertising practices - DW News

European Union regulators have fined Google almost 3 billion euros for breaching competition rules.

The US tech giant is accused of putting competitors at an unfair disadvantage by favoring its own digital ad business. Google now has sixty days to submit plans on how it will adjust its business model - though the European Union has retreated from threats to break up the company. Google says it will appeal the decision.
