EU regulatory fines on Google

Entities: Google LLC · GitHub Inc. · French Parliament · Ministry of Home Affairs (India) · European Commission

Overview

In early July 2026 the European Union’s top court confirmed a €4.1 billion antitrust penalty against Google for abusing its dominant position in the Android ecosystem. The ruling sustained a multi‑year investigation that found the tech giant forced manufacturers to pre‑install its search and Chrome apps and restricted rivals’ access to users.

Later that month the European Commission imposed an additional €890 million sanction on Google for breaching the Digital Markets Act, citing violations related to its search service and the Play Store. The two penalties illustrate a widening EU strategy that moves beyond traditional antitrust enforcement to apply new digital‑market rules, signaling intensified scrutiny of Google’s core platforms across the bloc.
