Google has lost its final appeal against a landmark EU antitrust fine, and must now pay €4.1 billion ($4.7 billion) for abusing its dominant position by bundling Google Search and Chrome as defaults on Android devices. The Court of Justice of the European Union dismissed the appeal, leaving Google with no further legal options after the fine was slightly reduced from the original €4.34 billion in 2022. Despite the ruling's conclusion, the EU continues to pursue Big Tech regulation through the Digital Markets Act, with further scrutiny of Google's Android platform already underway.
