>Antitrust: Commission fines Google €2.42 billion for abusing dominance as search engine by giving illegal advantage to own comparison shopping service
>
>The European Commission has fined Google €2.42 billion for breaching EU antitrust rules. Google has abused its market dominance as a search engine by giving an illegal advantage to another Google product, its comparison shopping service.
>
>The company must now end the conduct within 90 days or face penalty payments of up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover of Alphabet, Google's parent company.
>
>Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said: "Google has come up with many innovative products and services that have made a difference to our lives. That's a good thing. But Google's strategy for its comparison shopping service wasn't just about attracting customers by making its product better than those of its rivals. Instead, Google abused its market dominance as a search engine by promoting its own comparison shopping service in its search results, and demoting those of competitors.
>
>What Google has done is illegal under EU antitrust rules. It denied other companies the chance to compete on the merits and to innovate. And most importantly, it denied European consumers a genuine choice of services and the full benefits of innovation."

I think the complaint was valid and Google should pay
You can't claim to provide knowledge of all fitting products and only provide your own
They should either tell the costumer they only advertise their own or give him the knowledge he was promised

>what is anti-trust
It's like you want to be bent over a rail
Europe cant invent anything so they just sue American companies. Unless google is Irish now since Schmidt worked with crooked Hillary so he probably got the down low on how to dodge the law and taxes
