Google Fined €890M for DMA Violations, Largest in Europe
The European Commission fined Google €890 million for violating the Digital Markets Act by favoring its own services in search results and restricting alternative app stores. The penalty, 0.25% of Google's revenue, is the largest DMA fine to date, surpassing Alibaba's previous record. Google must change its practices or face further penalties.

The fine is a symbolic slap given its small revenue percentage, but it signals the EU's willingness to enforce DMA rules aggressively against Big Tech.
