The European Commission fined Google for one and a half billion euros

The European Commission was fined by Google in the amount of almost one and a half billion euros for violating European competitions when placing advertising and allocating it when searching on the Internet. The decision was made on the basis of the investigation. It was started in 2016.

The European regulator has found that since 2006 the company has limited contracts for advertising competitors. It is claimed that Google entered into agreements with third -party sites and did not allow competitors to advertise in their search results. In addition, the corporation demanded that her own advertising receive premium placement.

In 2017-2018, the European Commission twice fined Google totaling almost seven billion euros for violations in the search systems and restrictions on reinstalling applications on mobile phones with the Android operating system.
