Google fined a record €2.42bn EU for abusing internet search monopoly

 

EU competition chiefs have today fined internet giant Google a record 2.42 billion euros.

It is for allegedly abusing its dominant position to manipulate search engine results for its own benefit.

The European Commission claims the company used its search engine's dominance to favour results from its own Google Shopping service, above other price comparators.

Google said in a statement it disagrees with the EU and is considering an appeal.
