The eu fined google with 4,343 million euros for android

For weeks it has been said that Google would soon receive the highest fine ever established by the EU. The company is accused of having used Android to impose restrictions on other manufacturers and thus strengthen the dominant position of its search engine in the market. Something that according to Europe is illegal and with which the American company seeks to establish a monopoly.

The EU fines Google with 4, 343 million euros for Android

After weeks of fines, the amount of the fine has finally been revealed. Google will have to pay 4, 343 million euros, the largest fine ever established in the European Union. Although the American company has already announced that they will appeal.

Fine Google for Android

According to the company, Android is a system that has created many more options for everyone, including manufacturers and consumers. Therefore, they disagree with the decision that the European Commission has taken. And they announce that they are going to appeal this sentence. So this story doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon as we'll have to wait and see what happens.

But for weeks the announcement of this fine to Google is expected. On more than one occasion, the European Commission has expressed that they consider many of the company's practices illegal. Something that is reflected in this fine of more than 4, 000 million euros.

Now that the company has appealed the fine, there's no telling how long it will take until a new verdict arrives. It will probably take a few months. So more news will come to us in this regard. What do you think about this fine?
