Bill Gross warns on gold momentum as regional bank stocks tumble
Investing.com -- Alphabet’s Google is expected to receive a second fine under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act in the coming months, according to Reuters, citing three people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The European Commission, acting as the EU’s competition enforcer, is currently drafting its decision related to charges brought in March. Those charges alleged that Google favored its own vertical search engines, including Google Shopping, Google Flights, and Google Hotels, over competitors.
This follows a recent €2.95 billion ($3.45 billion) fine imposed on Google earlier this month. That penalty was for practices that favored Google’s online display technology services and reinforced its ad exchange AdX’s central role at the expense of rivals and online publishers.
Both cases against the tech giant fall under the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which establishes specific rules and requirements for large technology companies.
